| dc.description.abstract | The history of the Caprivi African National Union (CANU) is barely covered in Namibian historiography dealing with the liberation struggle.2 However, in this chapter I am not interested in presenting a historical narrative of the rise and fall of CANU, and thus to mistakenly assume a simple linearity of events regarding the history of the movement.3 I will also not discuss the relationship between CANU and the South West Africa People’s Organisation (SWAPO) in exile and the subsequent ‘merger’ of the two liberation movements.4 The main focus will be to examine why the administration enforced a harsh clampdown on CANU activities and activists, forcing many into exile and preventing the movement from operating freely within Caprivi, beyond its official launch and its first meeting. | en_US |
