EDITORS COMMENTS
Khoikhoi at Dinner, Namibia (German South-West Africa - Hottentots at Dinner, 1900s) This evocative photograph captures a moment in the history of the Khoikhoi people of Namibia during the early 1900s, a time when German South-West Africa was under colonial rule. The image shows a group of Khoikhoi men and women gathered around a table, sharing a communal meal. Their faces are expressive and engaged, revealing a sense of community and connection. The Khoikhoi, also known as the Hottentots, are an indigenous people of southern Africa, with a rich cultural heritage that predates European colonization. Their traditional way of life was based on pastoralism, with a focus on herding cattle and goats. This photograph offers a glimpse into their daily life, as they continue to practice their customs despite the encroachment of European settlers. The German colonial administration, which ruled Namibia from 1884 to 1915, sought to assert control over the land and its resources, including the labor of the indigenous population. This photograph, however, reveals a more complex relationship between the Khoikhoi and the German colonizers. While the colonial authorities may have seen the Khoikhoi as inferior and in need of "civilization," this image shows that they were not simply passive subjects of colonial rule. Instead, the Khoikhoi continued to assert their agency and maintain their cultural practices, even in the face of colonialism. This photograph is a powerful reminder of the resilience and adaptability of the Khoikhoi people, and the importance of preserving their cultural heritage. It also underscores the complex and nuanced nature of colonialism, which involved not just domination and exploitation, but also interaction, exchange, and resistance.
