Book Description
On March 21, 1990, Sam Nujoma was sworn in as the first president of independent Namibia. This ceremony marked the end of a struggle that lasted more than two decades and a period of colonialism that lasted more than a century. Finally, after decades long wars over grazing in the 19th century, genocidal colonial suppression by Germany at the beginning of the 20th century, repressive apartheid racialism throughout the 20th century, and a prolonged armed liberation struggle, Namibians had the chance to choose their own leaders, develop a democratic political process in a free society, and to bring economic development and greater equity to their country. The Historical Dictionary of Namibia covers the history of Namibia through a chronology, an introductory essay, appendixes, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has several hundred cross-referenced entries on important personalities, politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture. This book is an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Namibia.

The Namibian Issue, 1920-1980

Book Description
This substantial bibliographical work focuses mainly on international relations, diplomacy and legal proceedings, but also includes minor sections on economics, politics, resources, labour, administration and the role of the churches. It contains close to 1500 entries, covering books, documents as well as articles from a wide range of periodicals. Most of the entries are annotated, but the annotations are brief and not very informative. South African and Western standpoints are covered extensively, while coverage of African opinion is thin and SWAPO material and anti-apartheid publications are scarcely touched. For many students, the sections on UN documents and International Court of Justice material will, however, provide a useful working resource. The author, who is a librarian at the University of Witwatersrand, restricted her research to library resources available in Johannesburg and Pretoria. The bibliography includes a chronology (1883-1980), a subject guide and an author index. This workis an expansion and updating of a previous publication: South West Africa/Namibia: An international issue, 1920-1977. A Select Bibliography (Johannesburg: South African Institute of International Affairs, 1978). See also two bibliographies which concentrate on UN and South Africa's foreign relations: Gail L. Rogaly: South Africa's Foreign Relations, 1961-1979. A select and partially annotated bibliography (Johannesburg: SAIIA 1980, 462 p.) and Elna Schoeman: South Africa and the United Nations (Johannesburg: SAIIA, 1981, 244 p.). Elna Schoeman is also the co-author of a more recent bibliography on Namibia. (Eriksen/Moorsom 1989).
