Download or read book The Namibians written by and published by Minority Rights Group. This book was released on 1985-06-01 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
Book Synopsis History of Namibia by : Marion Wallace
Download or read book History of Namibia written by Marion Wallace and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2014-01-16 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1990 Namibia gained its independence after a decades-long struggle against South African rule--and, before that, against German colonialism. This book, the first new scholarly general history of Namibia in two decades, provides a fresh synthesis of these events, and of the much longer pre-colonial period. A History of Namibia opens with a chapter by John Kinahan covering the evidence of human activity in Namibia from the earliest times to the nineteenth century, and for the first time making a synthesis of current archaeological research widely available to non-specialists. In subsequent chapters, Marion Wallace weaves together the most up-to-date academic research (in English and German) on Namibian history, from the mid-eighteenth century to the present. She explores histories of migration, production and power in the pre-colonial period, the changes triggered by European expansion, and the dynamics of the period of formal colonialism. The coverage of German rule includes a full chapter on the genocide of 1904-8. Here, Wallace outlines the history and historiography of the wars fought in central and southern Namibia, and the subsequent mass imprisonment of defeated Africans in concentration camps. The final two chapters analyse the period of African nationalism, apartheid and war between 1946 and 1990. The book's conclusion looks briefly at the development of Namibia in the two decades since independence. A History of Namibia provides an invaluable introduction and reference source to the past of a country that is often neglected, despite its significance in the history of the region and, indeed, for that of European colonialism and international relations. It makes accessible the latest research on the country, illuminates current controversies, puts forward new insights, and suggests future directions for research. The book's extensive bibliography adds to its usefulness for scholar and general reader alike.

Download or read book The Africans written by David Lamb and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2011-08-24 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the four years he spent in black Africa as the bureau chief for the Los Angeles Times, David Lamb traveled through almost every country south of the Sahara, logging more than 300,000 miles. He talked to presidents and guerrilla leaders, university professors and witch doctors. He bounced from wars to coups oceans apart, catching midnight flights to little-known countries where supposedly decent people were doing unspeakable things to one another. In the tradition of John Gunther's Inside Africa, The Africans is an extraordinary combination of analysis and adventure. Part travelogue, part contemporary history, it is a portrait of a continent that sometimes seems hell-bent on destroying itself, and of people who are as courageous as they are long-suffering.

Book Synopsis The Herero Genocide by : Matthias Häussler
Download or read book The Herero Genocide written by Matthias Häussler and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2021-04-01 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on previously inaccessible and overlooked archival sources, The Herero Genocide undertakes a groundbreaking investigation into the war between colonizer and colonized in what was formerly German South-West Africa and is today the nation of Namibia. In addition to its eye-opening depictions of the starvation, disease, mass captivity, and other atrocities suffered by the Herero, it reaches surprising conclusions about the nature of imperial dominion, showing how the colonial state’s genocidal posture arose from its own inherent weakness and military failures. The result is an indispensable account of a genocide that has been neglected for too long.
Book Synopsis Democracy and Education in Namibia and Beyond by : M. Amukugo
Download or read book Democracy and Education in Namibia and Beyond written by M. Amukugo and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2017-07-19 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Namibian constitution makes full provision for education as a fundamental human right and freedom. Three years into independence, as part of the governments educational policy, the Education for All Policy was launched as a stepping stone to free quality education. However, inequities have become widely pronounced within the Namibian educational system. Democracy and Education in Namibia and beyond debates the educationdemocracy nexus in Namibia and the southern African context. It defines and explores the meaning of democracy and related concepts. It also looks at what democracy means in the context of human rights and access to education. The ten chapters in this collection interrogate the strengths and limitations of education as an instrument of social change and question whether or not the Namibian educational objectives and practices do develop and help to sustain a democratic culture in Namibia. The authors in the collection have drawn material from their own teaching and research experience across the fields of education and social science in Namibia and beyond, and present their findings in a pedagogical framework suitable as a challenging text for tertiary students. At a time when education is in crisis, especially in South Africa where strident calls for free tertiary education and Africanisation of the curriculum are spreading like wildfire, this book gives scholarly insight into the history and social conditions that gave rise to our current predicament.
Book Synopsis German Rule, African Subjects by : Jürgen Zimmerer
Download or read book German Rule, African Subjects written by Jürgen Zimmerer and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2021-06-11 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although it lasted only thirty years, German colonial rule dramatically transformed South West Africa. The colonial government not only committed the first genocide of the twentieth century against the Herero and Nama, but in their efforts to establish a “model colony” and “racial state,” they brought about even more destructive and long-lasting consequences. In this now-classic study—available here for the first time in English—the author provides an indispensable account of Germany's colonial utopia in what is present-day Namibia, showing how the highly rationalized planning of Wilhelmine authorities ultimately failed even as it added to the profound immiseration of the African population.
Book Synopsis Namibia and Germany: Negotiating the Past by : Reinhard Kossler
Download or read book Namibia and Germany: Negotiating the Past written by Reinhard Kossler and published by University of Namibia Press. This book was released on 2015-08-12 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 100 years since the end of German colonial rule in Namibia, the relationship between the former colonial power and the Namibian communities who were affected by its brutal colonial policies remains problematic, and interpretations of the past are still contested. This book examines the ongoing debates, conflicts and confrontations over the past. It scrutinises the consequences of German colonial rule, its impact on the descendants of victims of the 1904–08 genocide, Germany’s historical responsibility, and ways in which post-colonial reconciliation might be achieved.
Book Synopsis Indigenous Knowledge of Namibia by : Chinsembu, Kazhila C.
Download or read book Indigenous Knowledge of Namibia written by Chinsembu, Kazhila C. and published by University of Namibia Press. This book was released on 2016-01-29 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indigenous knowledge is the dynamic information base of a society, facilitating communication and decision-making. It is the cornerstone of many modern-day innovations in science and technology. It is also a ready and valuable resource for sustainable and resilient livelihoods, and attracts increasing public interest due to its applications in bio-technology, health, bioprospecting, pharmaceuticals, agriculture, food preparation, mathematics and astronomy. INDIGENOUS KNOWLEDGE OF NAMIBIA is a fascinating compendium aimed at a wide readership of academics and students, government officials, policy makers, and development partners. The 17 chapters examine the indigenous knowledge of medicinal plants for treating HIV/AIDS, malaria, cancer, and other microbial infections of humans and livestock; indigenous foods; coping and response strategies in dealing with human-wildlife conflicts, floods, gender, climate change and the management of natural resources. A new rationalisation of adolescent customary and initiation ceremonies is recommended in response to the HIV/AIDS pandemic; and a case study of the San people of Namibia speaks to the challenges of harmonising modern education with that of indigenous people.
Book Synopsis The Dynamics of English in Namibia by : Anne Schröder
Download or read book The Dynamics of English in Namibia written by Anne Schröder and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2021-09-15 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The English language as spoken in Namibia has virtually been overlooked in most textbooks, handbooks, and surveys of varieties of English around the world, or else has only been mentioned in passing. However, this variety of English has recently attracted the attention of several researchers and the present volume brings together most scholars actively involved in the research on English in Namibia from various linguistic fields to present their current research. It covers a wide range of linguistic issues, such as empirical analyses on various levels of linguistic description and use, as well as the application of diverse methodologies, from questionnaire surveys, sociolinguistic interviews and focus group discussions, to corpus linguistics, linguistic landscaping, and digital ethnography. This book represents the first comprehensive collection of articles and in-depth discussions of this emerging variety of World Englishes.
