Focusing on four shantytowns in the northern Namibian town of Oshakati, this study analyses the coping strategies of the poorest sections of such populations. I ask what it is that enables some people living in oppressed and poor urban shantytowns to strive to go on with their lives or improve their situation, while others living in the same context and under the same conditions seem trapped in chronic poverty and apparently give up making much of their lives? The study is based on fieldwork conducted intermittently from 1991 to 2001, using qualitative anthropological methods supplemented by quantitative measures of material poverty. It combines theories of political, economic and cultural structuration, and of the material and cultural basis for social relations of inclusion and exclusion as practise. 2014-07-29T20:22:09Z 2014-07-29T20:22:09Z 2008 Doctoral Thesis Doctoral PhD http://hdl.handle.net/11427/3616 eng application/pdf Social Anthropology Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town |
