    Document No. NS-30 International Seminar on The Role of Transnational Corporations in Namibia Sheraton Washington Hotel Washington, DC November 29- December 2, 1982 Shadows of the Past: The Consequences of Colonisation and German Colonial Rule in Namibia by: Henning Melber Federal Republic of Germany Organized by the American Committee on Africa 198 Broadway New York, NY 10038 (212) 962-1210 with the support of the United Nations Council for Namibia Uncorrected manuscript August 1932 Henning Melber Shadows of the Past: The Consecuences of Colonisation and German Colonial Rule for Namibia Because of geographical and climatic features, Namibia has been free of outside influences for quite a long time. Only when the "scramble for Africa" already reached its final stage, the territory became an interesting object for the adventurers and colonial enthusiasts, who, in the name of European "civili zation" invaded the country's interior. The Namib desert along the Atlantic coast, until this time in the 19th century an effective natural shelter, could then not any longer protect the land and people inside effectively. After the first concerted efforts of Europeans to settle on a permanent basis, the character and organisation of the economic and social structures within the country underwent basic changes, which corresponded to the establishment of a colonial-capitalist settler-society. Henceforth, Namibia became organised as a white man's country. The first impacts to this development lie far back in the early stages of Namibian colonial history, more than hundred years ago. Their consequences are nevertheless of more than historic interest and still relevant for an analysis and understanding of the present situation, the organisation of the still valid (though modified) colonial system and the national liberation struggle against this system with its present features.

  • Animal Representations and the Narrating Ox in Uwe Timm's Morenga
    humanities Article An Animal-Centered Perspective on Colonial Oppression: Animal Representations and the Narrating Ox in Uwe Timm’s Morenga (1978) Steffen Röhrs Deutsches Seminar, Leibniz University, Königsworther Platz 1, 30167 Hanover, Germany; [email protected]; Tel.: +49-511-642-18222 Academic Editor: Joela Jacobs Received: 20 December 2016; Accepted: 4 February 2017; Published: 10 February 2017 Abstract: As a result of its topic and its narrative style, Uwe Timm’s novel Morenga (1978) marks an important step in the development of postcolonial German literature. The main theme of the book is the bloody suppression of the Herero and Nama uprisings through the German army in South-West Africa at the beginning of the 20th century. With recourse to historical and fictional documents and by using different narrative perspectives, the text achieves a plurality of voices and thereby destabilizes a one-dimensional view on colonialism. The present article discusses the functions of the nonhuman animals appearing in Morenga. It is assumed that the animal representations are an essential part of the plot and underscore the criticism of colonial rule in a narrative manner too. The novel contains several descriptions of suffering animals and links them to the harm of the Herero and the Nama in order to point out the ruthlessness of the colonists. Moreover, the book features a story-telling ox, which initiates a reflection process about possible ways of narrating colonial history. The talking ox adds a specific animal-centered perspective on colonial oppression and raises questions about emancipation, self-determination, and the agency of the nonhuman ‘other’.

    Francesco Lamendola NAMIBIA 1904: IL GENOCIDIO DIMENTICATO DEL POPOLO HERERO (Questo articolo è apparso sul nr. 1 del 2007 de «Il pensiero mazziniano» di Forlì, riv. Quadrimestrale dell'Associazione Mazziniana Italiana, pp. 137-171.) 1. C HE COS'È UN GENOCIDIO. Genocidio è il tentativo di sterminare, con metodi organizzati,ingruppo nazionale, etnico, razziale o religioso (dal greco génos, stirpe, donde il latino gens: gente, stirpe, razza). Le odierne leggi internazionali lo puniscono quale "crimine contro l'umanità" (accordo di Londra, 8 agosto 1945), sia nel caso venga commesso nel corso delle operazioni belliche, sia che abbia luogo in stato di pace (convenzione dell'Assemblea generale dell'O.N.U. del 9 dicembre 1948). La storia antica è ricca di massacri e deportazioni di interi popoli. Nelle sue memorie sulla guerra di Gallia, ad esempio, Giulio Cesare narra senza batter ciglio come tentò di sterminare il popolo degli Eburoni che si era ribellato ai Romani, tentativo coronato da un notevole successo. (1) Tuttavia è nella storia moderna che noi troviamo gli esempi più massicci e sistematici di genocidio. È noto che un grandissimo numero di popoli amerindiani venne letteralmente sterminato dai conquistatori europei, tanto nel Nord che nel Sud America. In certi casi, le condizioni di vita imposte dai conquistadores erano così intollerabili che interi gruppi tribali ricorsero al suicidio di massa: tale il caso degli Arawak dell'isola di Hispaniola (Haiti) durante il XVI secolo. Più recentemente, nella Terra del Fuoco gli allevatori 1 bianchi giunsero a iniettare stricnina nelle pecore di cui si cibavano gli indigeni e a sparare a vista contro qualunque Fuegino, anche pacifico, col risultato che già nel 1925 non si contavano più di 190 individui fra Yaghan e Alakaluf (2), mentre oggi sono del tutto estinti.

    Ministry of Education and Sports HOME-STUDY LEARNING I O R N E S 4 HISTORY OF SOUTH AFRICA August 2020 Published 2020 This material has been developed as a home-study intervention for schools during the lockdown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic to support continuity of learning. Therefore, this material is restricted from being reproduced for any commercial gains. National Curriculum Development Centre P.O. Box 7002, Kampala- Uganda www.ncdc.go.ug SELF-STUDY LEARNING FOREWORD Following the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, government of Uganda closed all schools and other educational institutions to minimize the spread of the coronavirus. This has affected more than 36,314 primary schools, 3129 secondary schools, 430,778 teachers and 12,777,390 learners. The COVID-19 outbreak and subsequent closure of all has had drastically impacted on learning especially curriculum coverage, loss of interest in education and learner readiness in case schools open. This could result in massive rates of learner dropouts due to unwanted pregnancies and lack of school fees among others. To mitigate the impact of the pandemic on the education system in Uganda, the Ministry of Education and Sports (MoES) constituted a Sector Response Taskforce (SRT) to strengthen the sector’s preparedness and response measures. The SRT and National Curriculum Development Centre developed print home-study materials, radio and television scripts for some selected subjects for all learners from Pre-Primary to Advanced Level. The materials will enhance continued learning and learning for progression during this period of the lockdown, and will still be relevant when schools resume.
