A new book by historians Bernard Moore and Luregn Lenggenhager titled 'Space is the Ultimate Luxury' explores the competing interests of private conservation schemes, international capitalism, and ancestral land claims of the Bondelswarts Nama community in southern Namibia. The authors argue that modern conservation efforts, intended to rewild endangered species for wealthy tourism, continue a pattern of land dispossession that has constrained indigenous communities since colonial times.
