When Namibia gained its independence from South Africa in 1990, the
new government began dismantling the divisive apartheid state and
building a unified nation-state. What does this new nation look
like from the perspective of ordinary citizens? In Lyrical
Nationalism in Post-Apartheid Namibia, Wendi Haugh provides an
ethnographic portrayal of the nation as imagined by people living
in the former ethnic homeland of Ovamboland, with a particular
focus on the lyrics of songs composed and performed by Catholic
youth. The author argues that these youth draw on conflicting
ideologies-hierarchical and egalitarian, nationalist and
cosmopolitan-from multiple sources to construct a multi-faceted
sense of national identity. She reveals how their vision of the
nation-framed as neutrally national-is deeply rooted in specific
local histories and cultures.
