Naming the Land. San Identity and Community Conservation in Namibia’s West Caprivi

This book by Julie J. Taylor encompasses a history of identity-building amongst Khwe San people, and of contestations for authority over land and natural resources in Namibia’s West Caprivi. The politics of authority in this contested borderland area were significantly shaped by state and NGO interventions into local institutions and land use between the late 1930s and 2006. Julie J. Taylor is a Namibian-South African anthropologist and art gallerist.
