Who do those who ‘answer’ for Kuvale think of?

Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:Drawing on his long standing research on and among the Kuvale, a Herero herder people in South-Western Angola, the author distinguishes three types of «thinking» on politics, bout those who «answer» for the Kuvale. The Kuvale commoner sees the violent post-colonial conflicts as normal and corresponding to such a degree to a long historical tradition that they have become part of their mode of reproduction; politics becomes relevant only when it affects this mode. The traditional authorities think like their people, but their discourse is the one demanded by the state. Finally, the politicians as well as persons/institutions concerned with «development» think of the Kuvale, and «answer» for them, in terms which have little to do with either the «thinking» or the reproduction logics of a population seen as object.
