Social Justice in Postcolonial Namibia: Whose Justice? What Justice? Which Rationality?

  • Basilius M. Kasera

摘要

It is an honour to share this anthological collection with some of our best and brightest among us, proven by many brilliant and thought-provoking presentations. This chapter is not intended to show academic agility. If anything, it qualifies as a statement of stone throwing, a symbol of resistance long embodied by Africans during colonialism. As such, the language of this chapter is steeped in the pedagogy of social resistance. Premised on the notion that a future for all is only viable through the recognition of the humanity of all. This is not just resistance but undoing colonial notions that have long derecognised the humanity of others. A dehumanisation was preceded by the killings of tens of thousands of Namibians at the start of the twentieth century and a few decades later, the apartheid system. To date, neither of the beneficiaries of colonialism nor those of apartheid have taken full responsibility for the benefits accorded to them through trajectories of violence. In the context of colonialism, there exists the FDN (Forum Deutschsprachiger Namibier) which serves as an apologist group for German colonialism and denialism.
