Must reading for travelers to Namibia,
By Paul S "Paul" (Portland OR area) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Namibia's Liberation Struggle: The Two-Edged Sword (Eastern African Studies) (Paperback)
This book is must reading for those going to Namibia who want to learn more about Namibia's recent history, particularly the liberation struggle and all the various parties involved in it. You'll learn a lot about church influence, how SWAPO leveraged the international community, about tribes in Namibia, re SWAPO's treatment of Namibians in Angolan internment camps, about South African rule of Namibia, etc.
I'd recommend reading Ley's "Histories of Namibia" before this book. It contains direct interviews from some of the people Leys talks about in the "Liberation Struggle" book and helps one gather a stronger understanding of this period. I learned so much from "Namibia's Liberation Struggle"! It's great history, political science - all in a very readable format. Paul |
