Abstract

The history of the Republic of Namibia began in 1990 when the declaration of independence was proclaimed, after 25 years of liberation struggle with South Africa regime. However the national identity had been shaping many years before. One of the most important component of creating „one Namibia, one People, one Nation” (which was a SWAPO slogan from party’s project of 1973) were camps: civil for refugees and military for freedom fighters organized by People’s Liberation Army of Namibia, located in Angola, Zambia and Tanzania. The purpose of the article is introducing the most crucial moments of Nambian camps history, selected elements of their daily life and the role of the camps in contemporary Namibia.
