Histories of Namibia: Living Through the Liberation Struggle
by Colin Leys and Susan Brown - £14.95 The Merlin Press (2001)
paperback
ISBN 13: 9780850364996 | ISBN 10: 085036499x
From 1966 to 1989 Namibians fought a bitter war of independence against the South African apartheid regime. This book tells the story in the words of eleven young Namibians who came to maturity during those years - men and women, 'northerners' and 'southeners', those who joined the struggle in exile and those who stayed and resisted at home. Their stories, recorded immediately after independence and only made public now, are sometimes harrowing, occasionally hilarious, but always moving and full of courage. They bring the most formative years of the Namibian nation vividly back to life.
With a short historical introduction by Colin Leys and Susan Brown, Histories of Namibia is an ideal introduction to modern Namibian history, as well as a compulsively readable document of the human spirit.
