Land is Life, Conservancy is Life. The San and the N‡a Jaqna Conservancy, Tsumkwe District West, Namibia

Focusing on the experiences of a group of predominantly San communities in the North-East of Namibia, the historical and contemporary situations of the San of the N‡a Jaqna Conservancy and their engagement with Community-based natural resource management or CBNRM are examined. In looking to the future, this book by Cameron Welch seeks to understand what mechanisms and institutions give indigenous groups, such as the San, a foothold in the State and an avenue through which to navigate and shape their own modernity(ies).
