This review is from: Katutura: A Place Where We Stay (Ohio RIS Africa Series) (Paperback)
I read this book during a trip to Namibia in Sept 08. I learned a lot about the various tribes in Namibia, about the history of South African control of the country, and what life was like in the township of Katutura that the South African government moved black residents of Windhoek to. The reader also learns about how life changed there after independence.It was fascinating to read about life conditions before and after independence, and then go through Katutura myself in 2008. In Katutura today, you really see a huge disparity in incomes that has developed from the days of SA control. The book is based on surveys and interviews, so the conclusions appear sound. It's written in a very readable manner, so it's appropriate and educational for any traveler going to Namibia. I'd also strongly recommend books by Colin Leys to anyone traveling to that country.
