This thesis explores how the interconnections between people, the economy and the environment shaped livelihoods in the wetlands of Chobe and Ngamiland from c.1870 to the recent past. Beginning in the 1870s with the arrival of European hunters and traders and the Declaration of the Bechuanaland Protectorate in 1885, the economic and social change among the peoples of this region are explored. It tracks the efforts of the colonial government to eradicate disease and establish the foundations of a cattle industry in this ecologically sensitive and economically marginal area leading up to independence in 1966. Then it examines the articulation of development strategies on the part of the independent government of Botswana and their application to the challenges of economic upliftment in the region of the north western wetlands. 2014-12-30T06:48:52Z 2014-12-30T06:48:52Z 2010 Doctoral Thesis Doctoral PhD http://hdl.handle.net/11427/10546 eng application/pdf Department of Historical Studies Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town |
