Reaching the Limits of Universal Citizenship: ‘Minority’ Struggles in Botswana
Reaching the Limits of Universal Citizenship: Minority5 Struggles in Botswana
In the Eye of the Storm: The State and Non-Violence in Southern Africa (Botswana)
In February 2002, while visiting our students and local partners in the Trent University International Development Studies year abroad programme, I gave a talk at the Institute for Policy Alternatives (Tamale, Northern Ghana) on aspects of my current research. 1 I focused on the dilemmas posed by attempts on the part of liberal states to recognize the moral and political basis of both collectivities and individuals as rights bearing agents. How, …
Navigating the 'Neutral' State: Minority' Rights in Botswana
This article analyses the rise of minority struggles in Botswana. It traces the development of these struggles from the relatively isolated and muted complaints of non-Tswana to the organised, sophisticated and effective political movements that are seeking to render the state more inclusive. This transition, which has occurred over approximately one decade, culminated in a Presidential Commission and a White Paper proposing constitutional change…
Just Anger: Scenarios of Indignation in Botswana and Madagascar
Particular scenarios of anger in two African societies are compared in order to discern some of the complex ways in which emotion is related to cultural context and social practice. The disappointment of Kgalagadi elders (dikgaba) in Botswana and the irascibility and violence of royal Sakalava spirits in Madagascar entail moral inspection with respect to the justifiability of anger and the locus of fault. Through case studies we emphasize the int…

Taking stock in the Kalahari: Accumulation and resistance on the Southern African periphery
This paper examines the relationship between patterns of accumulation, the cultural forms through which change is understood and experienced, and resistance in the Kalahari, Botswana. The paper argues that contemporary forms of accumulation and social differentiation constitute a break from past forms and are resulting in an uneven process of class formation. However, these changes can be assimilated, to a large degree, within existing ideologica…
Drought as a Revelatory Crisis: An Exploration of Shifting Entitlements and Hierarchies in the Kalahari, Botswana
This article analyses drought in Botswana as a 'revelatory crisis' in which structural contradictions as well as deteriorating socio-economic conditions are exposed. Paradoxically, however, drought also enables such conditions to be concealed because they can be attributed to the 'crisis' and not to deeper problems and trends. In addition, crises such as droughts disrupt conventional routine sufficiently to allow actors (including government poli…

From Shame to Pride: Politicized Ethnicity in the Kalahari, Botswana
RésuméLa montée de la conscience ethnique et du mouvement séparatiste parmi des peuples d'origines diverses dans le district de Kweneng au Botswana est ici analysée. Dans ce cas particulier, les Kgalagadi ont transformé, valorisé et ont fait leur une étiquette ethnique stigmatisante qui leur avait été imposée au dix-neuvième siècle et ils en ont fait une image positive à laquelle ils s'identifient et une force d'action politique. L'auteur affirme…

Foragers, Genuine or Spurious: Situating the Kalahari San in History [and Comments and Reply]
Affines and Spouses, Friends and Lovers: The Passing of Polygny in Botswana
In this paper I argue that the passing of polygyny among the Bakgalagadi of Botswana not only reflects past socioeconomic change but also must itself be considered as a force of change. As such it provides a clue to the process whereby the social domains governed by the rules of reciprocity and kinship become circumscribed. This paper moves beyond the existing work on the topic for Sotho-Tswana peoples by exploring both the causes and consequence…
