Download or read book Namibia s Liberation Struggle written by Colin Leys and published by James Currey. This book was released on 1995 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Not a history of the 23-year struggle by the South West African People's Organization to free Namibia from the rule of South Africa, but a study of how that struggle impacted the liberation movement itself and the political culture bequeathed to the country at independence. The main point is that democracy was severely suppressed in order to achieve the victory against such overwhelming force, and that the subsequent government, liberal rather than democratic, is ultimately answerable to the people, but not under their immediate control. A nicely produced volume. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Download or read book Re examining Liberation in Namibia written by Henning Melber and published by Nordic Africa Institute. This book was released on 2003 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From 1960, SWAPO of Nami-bia led the organised and later armed struggle for indepen-dence. In late 1989, the libera-tion movement was finally elected to power under United Nations supervision as the legitimate government. When the Republic of Namibia was proclaimed on 21 March 1990, the long and bitter struggle for sovereignty came to an end. This volume takes stock of emerging trends in the country's political culture since independence. The contributions, mainly by authors from Namibia and Southern Africa who supported the anti-colonial movements, critically explore the achieve-ments and shortcomings that have been part of liberation in Namibia. Henning Melber was Director of the Namibian Economic Policy Research Unit (NEPRU) in Windhoek between 1992 and 2000 and has been Research Director at The Nordic Africa Institute since then. He coordinates the research project on 'Liberation and Democracy in Southern Africa', of which this volume is part.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigates the experiences of women journalists during the last phase of Namibia's liberation struggle against South African rule. Black or white, women journalists in Namibia made significant contributions to the liberation cause -including the founding of a high-profiled newspaper -whilst others worked for media sympathetic to the apartheid government. Based on interviews and deploying feminist media theory, Maria Mboono Nghidinwa pays close attention to the gendered power relationships in the newsrooms of newspapers and radio stations at the time. She looks at the intense political intimidations which targeted women and, in particular, the constraints experienced by black women journalists.
