Download The Namibians Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
A Trust Betrayed: There are few peoples who have suffered as long and as bitterly as the Namibians. For the past century they have been a minority people under the domination of an alien occupying power: first the Germans, and then the South African regime - itself an oppressor of its own majority people - who have illegally occupied Namibia for over 70 years. The Namibian people have been murdered, imprisoned and tortured, their country has been turned into a battleground for contending armies, their land and natural resources have been stolen and exploited. Yet Namibia has been on the international agenda for many years, first under a League of Nations mandate and later as a UN Trust Territory. It has been the subject of numerous resolutions from the UN and other international bodies, and yet no international political action has brought nearer any tangible moves towards true independence. Instead the South African government has procrastinated, manipulated and perverted any attempts to reach a peaceful, yet just, settlement. The Namibians, Minority Rights Group report 19, gives a detailed account of Namibian history and the present situation. Written by Peter Fraenkel and Roger Murray, it contains new sections on the international diplomacy which has surrounded the Namibian question, internal political developments, the war and human rights abuses. It focuses on evidence of the exploitation of Namibian land, resources and labour by outsiders. It reports also the continued resistance of Namibians to South African domination and their support for the liberation movement of SWAPO, and its allies, in that struggle. An invaluable guide to the complexities of a horrifying situation, The Namibians is essential reading for the media, academics, students, aid agencies and all interested in international affairs and current events.

Download The Ju/’hoan San of Nyae Nyae and Namibian Independence Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
The Ju/’hoan San, or Ju/’hoansi, of Namibia and Botswana are perhaps the most fully described indigenous people in all of anthropology. This is the story of how this group of former hunter-gatherers, speaking an exotic click language, formed a grassroots movement that led them to become a dynamic part of the new nation that grew from the ashes of apartheid South West Africa. While coverage of this group in the writings of Richard Lee, Lorna Marshall, Elizabeth Marshall Thomas, and films by John Marshall includes extensive information on their traditional ways of life, this book continues the story as it has unfolded since 1990. Peopled with accounts of and from contemporary Ju>/’hoan people, the book gives newly-literate Ju/’hoansi the chance to address the world with their own voices. In doing so, the images and myths of the Ju/’hoan and other San (previously called “Bushmen”) as either noble savages or helpless victims are discredited. This important book demonstrates the responsiveness of current anthropological advocacy to the aspirations of one of the best-known indigenous societies.

Download Namibia's Rainbow Project Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
What are the consequences when international actors step in to protect LGBT people from discrimination with programs that treat their sexualities in isolation from the "facts on the ground"? Robert Lorway tells the story of the unexpected effects of The Rainbow Project (TRP), a LGBT rights program for young Namibians begun in response to President Nujoma's notorious hate speeches against homosexuals. Lorway highlights the unintended consequences of this program, many of which ran counter to the goals of local and international policy makers and organizers. He shows how TRP inadvertently diminished civil opportunities at the same time as it sought to empower youth to claim their place in Namibian culture and society. Tracking the fortunes of TRP over several years, Namibia's Rainbow Project poses questions about its effectiveness in the faces of class distinction and growing inequality. It also speaks to ongoing problems for Western sexual minority rights programs in Africa in the midst of political violence, heated debates over anti-discrimination laws, and government-sanctioned anti-homosexual rhetoric.

Download Writing Namibia: Literature in Transition Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Writing Namibia: Literature in Transition is a cornucopia of extraordinary and fascinating material which will be a rich resource for students, teachers and readers interested in Namibia. The text is wide ranging, defining literature in its broadest terms. In its multifaceted approach, the book covers many genres traditionally outside academic literary discourse and debate. The 22 chapters cover literature of all categories in Namibia since independence: written and performance poetry, praise poetry, Oshiwambo orature, drama, novels, autobiography, women’s writing, subaltern studies, literature in German, Ju|’hoansi and Otjiherero, children’s literature, Afrikaans fiction, story-telling through film, publishing, and the interface between literature and society. The inclusive approach is the book’s strength as it allows a wide range of subjects to be addressed, including those around gender, race and orature which have been conventionally silenced.
