Youth, elites and distinction in a Northern Namibian town

This thesis illuminates the process of elite formation and the making of the public space in Rundu, an African middle-range town, against the background of wider transformations in postcolonial Namibia. I address these theoretical issues by bringing to the fore an intergenerational dialogue in the public space between two generations of elite, the founding black power elite and an emergent and upwardly mobile youth elite. I start this thesis by recognising the relevance of small and middle-range town in Africa to the understanding of processes of social stratification and wider postcolonial debates on governance
