DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe study also examines the changes in women's lives caused by the arrival of Christianity, colonialism, the cash economy and modern values. Using the life story method it allows women to tell their stories themselves and present their own understanding of their situation. The study also tries to outline women's position in the independent Namibia where gender equality is guaranteed by the constitution but not in practice.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKhe book offers a frank account of an African state that shook off colonial rule but has yet to see the fruits of independence distributed evenly among its people. Drawing on inside knowledge of SWAPO, the anti-colonial liberation movement, the author provides a valuable case study of nation building in the modern era.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIt took 23 years of armed struggle before Namibia could gain its independence from South Africa in March 1990. SWAPO's victory was remarkable in the face of an overwhelmingly superior enemy. How this came about, and at what cost, is the subject of this study which is based on unpublished documents and extensive interviews with a large range of the key activists in the struggle. The study should be of interest to everyone concerned with southern Africa. North America: Ohio U Press

DOWNLOAD EBOOKNot 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 EBOOKFocusing on the Namibian issue and how it has been handled in the United Nations since 1945, this book discusses the limitations of the UN as a political institution and assesses its ability to manage crises and control conflicts. The UN was established to help maintain international peace and security; since its founding, however, the independence and sovereignty of member states has come to take precedence over the organization's original goals. As a result, contends Ms. Rocha, the UN may be viewed as a passive arena where political actors pursue their policies and priorities in response to the larger realities and forces governing world politics. In the case of Namibia, the UN simply cannot take significant action in expelling the illegal South African administration without the support of the few powerful members who provide it with resources. She concludes that the liberation of Namibia rests ultimately with the Namibian people themselves and the ability of SWAPO to intensify its armed struggle, thereby causing South Africa to consider its presence in Namibia more a liability than an asset.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe decolonization of Namibia was delayed from 1966 to 1989--the period of the war of independence--pitting the Namibian nationalists against the South African minority-ruled regime. This book describes the diplomatic, economic and military campaigns of the Namibian and South African belligerents and draws a comparison with several other decolonization wars. Using data from parliamentary debates, the aftermath is examined of the Namibian war and the newly independent nation. The book provides a basis for further investigation of the decolonization process.
