  • Summary

    Chapter 6 details how the administration since the mid 1920s sought to encapsulate north-western Namibia. Boundaries were enforced and wide no-man's lands were established to prevent cross-boundary mobility: mobility into southern Angola, mobility into the western margins of the Cuvelai delta, and mobility to the south. The encapsulation of north-west Namibia went along with enforced measures of veterinary control and trade restrictions: herders were forcefully confined to subsistence pastoralism and the spatial reach was massively restricted.
