Inspired by the optimism of Independence, the project was designed in close consultation with the Ju'hoansi community in the early 1990s. Drawing upon their traditional knowledge transmission strategies, and initiated in a supportive political environment, the project exemplified 'best practice.' During the following two decades, the Village Schools have transitioned from a donor-supported 'project' to government schools, and have received much attention and support from donors, civil society organisations, researchers, and others. However, the students still do not seem to succeed in the mainstream schools. Why is this? Based on long-term field-work in the region, including interviews with Nyae Nyae residents over several years and work with involved organisations, the book addresses this question. Contextualising the Village Schools within post-Independence Namibia, southern African history and the global indigenous rights movement, it examines the enormous paradoxes that schooling presents for the Nyae Nyae community. 'Owners of Learning' is the English translation of the Ju'hoansi word for 'teacher' and it serves to highlight a fundamental question - to whom does education belong?" 546 English. 588 0 Online resource; title from PDF title page (ebrary, viewed June 17, 2016). 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Native language and education|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85090172|zNamibia|zNyae Nyae. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n95912413-781 650 0 !Kung (African people)|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85073441|xEducation|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh99005758|zNamibia|zNyae Nyae. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n95912413-781 650 0 Schools|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85118451|zNamibia|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n79039884-781|zEastern Bushmanland. 650 0 Education, Primary|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85041077|zNamibia|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n79039884-781|zEastern Bushmanland. 650 7 Native language and education.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1033925 650 7 !Kung (African people)|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast /793677 650 7 Education.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/902499 650 7 Schools.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1107958 650 7 Education, Primary.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 903204 651 7 Namibia|zNyae Nyae.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1272312 651 7 Namibia.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204890 651 7 Namibia|zEastern Bushmanland.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1279236 655 4 Electronic books. 776 08 |iPrint version:|z3905758601 830 0 Basel Namibia studies series ;|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/no98123123|v16. 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=1242663|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
