Katutura, located in Namibia's major urban center and capital,
Windhoek, was a township created by apartheid, and administered in
the past by the most rigid machinery of the apartheid era. Namibia
became a sovereign state in 1990, and Katutura reflects many of the
changes that have taken place. No longer part of a rigidly bounded
social system, people in Katutura today have the opportunity to
enter and leave as their personal circumstances dictate. Influenced
in recent years by significant urban migration and the changing
political and economic situation in the new South Africa, as well
as a myriad of other factors, this diverse community has held
special interest for the author who did fieldwork there for several
years prior to 1975. Pendleton's recent visits provide a rich
comparison of life in Katutura township during the peak of the
apartheid years and in the post-independence period. In his
systematic look at urbanization, poverty, stratification,
ethnicity, social structure, and social history, he provides a
compassionate view of the survivors of the unstable years of
apartheid.
