This book traces the South West Africa People's Organization
(SWAPO) across its three decades in exile through rich, local
histories of the camps where Namibian exiles lived in Tanzania,
Zambia, and Angola. Christian A. Williams highlights how different
Namibians experienced these sites, as well as the tensions that
developed within SWAPO as Namibians encountered one another and as
officials asserted their power and protected their interests within
a national community. The book then follows Namibians who lived in
exile into post-colonial Namibia, examining the extent to which
divisions and hierarchies that emerged in the camps continue to
shape how Namibians relate to one another today, undermining the
more just and humane society that many had imagined. In developing
these points about SWAPO, the book draws attention to Southern
African literature more widely, suggesting parallels across the
region and defining a field of study that examines post-colonial
Africa through 'the camp'.
