The Herero-German war led to the destruction of Herero society. Yet
Herero society reemerged, reorganizing itself around the structures
and beliefs of the German colonial army and Rhenish missionary
activity. This book describes the manner in which the Herero of
Namibia struggled to maintain control over their own freedom in the
face of advancing German colonialism. Taking advantage of the South
AFrican invasion in of Namibia in World War One the Herero
established themselves in areas of their own choosing. The
effective reoccupation of land by the Herero forced the new
colonial state, anxious to maintain peace and cut costs, to come to
terms with the existence of Herero society. The study ends in 1923
when the death and funeral of Samuel Maherero -- first paramount of
the Herero and then resistance leader -- was the catalyst that
brought the disparate groups of Herero together to establish a
single unitary Herero identity.
