| Abstract: | The chapters in this volume are based on a workshop held in April 2009 in Omaruru, Namibia, which brought together members of a project on reconciliation and social conflict in the aftermath of large-scale violence in Angola and Namibia. The chapters are organized in three sections: Reconciliation: discourses and constraints; Communal resilience; and The presence of the past (on public memory). Contributions: The discursive limits of SWAPO's dominant discourses on anti-colonial nationalism in postcolonial Namibia - a first exploration (André Du Pisani); Namibia 1989-1994: hopes for a peaceful and democratic development - Namibians' opinions and attitudes (Heribert Weiland); Transformation, hegemony, and reconciliation in the education and security sectors in Namibia's transition from prolonged collective violence (William A. Lindeke); The role of the Church in Namibia: fostering a discourse on reconciliation (Gerhard Tötemeyer); Postcolonial dynamics of social structure in Namibia (Volker Winterfeldt); Politics of the land question in post settler colonial Africa: some comparative explorations of Zimbabwe, Kenya, Namibia and South Africa (Phanuel Kaapama); Genocide and reparations: dilemmas and exigencies in Namibian-German relations (Reinhart Kössler); Towards a visual construction of Omhedi: C.H.L. Hahn and A.M. Duggan-Cronin's photographs (Napandulwe Shiweda); The Ovaherero in Botswana and their Namibian brothers: transnational cooperation between the diaspora and motherland in the fight against apartheid (Johann Müller); Reconciling violent resource conflicts in the Kavango region of Namibia (Pamela Claassen); Stories of the patchwork quilt: an oral history project of the Nama-German war in southern Namibia (Memory Biwa); Political intervention and the image of history: communal memory events in central and southern Namibia (Reinhart Kössler); Dealing with the past in Namibia: getting the balance right between justice and sustainable peace?
