Journal Article
War, peace and nationhood: in between south-east Angola and Rundu, Namibia (1960s-2012)
2019
Overview
This contribution revolves around the complexities of national belonging among Angolan immigrants in Northern Namibia. In state bureaucracies, people are meant to have just one national identity and they are not encouraged to make any changes therein. For many south-east Angolan people currently resident in Rundu, Namibia, however, such simplicity denies their personal history. They have lived in south-east Angola, western Zambia and northern Namibia amongst people of their own kith and kin, and feel that they have rights and obligations in all three contexts. By taking a diachronic perspective with the case of Angolan immigrants in Rundu, Namibia (1960s-2012), this contribution traces the history of ideas about nationality and the conceptualization of war and peace. It proposes to view these as related to longstanding notions of real and imagined communities, but at the same time as changing in relation to the circumstances and varying according to personal history.
