520    Taking the history of trade and of traders as its subject 
       matter, this book offers the first economic history of 
       northern Namibia during the twentieth century. It traces 
       Namibia's way from a rural, largely self-relying society 
       into a globalised economy of consumption. This 
       transformation built on colonial economic activities, but 
       it was crucially shaped by local traders, a new social 
       elite emerging during the 1950s and 1960s. Becoming a 
       trader was one of the few possibilities for black 
       Namibians to gain monetary income at home. It was a 
       pathway out of migrant labour, to new status in the local.
