Book Description
This is one of the largest general bibliographies on Namibia, containing close to 2000 entries. The aim is to provide a checklist of books, entered alphabetically by author. Periodic articles are not included except when available as reprints or pamphlets. The subject index suffers from inaccuracies as quite a number of the entries have not been checked against the original works. The coverage of official publications is very thin, and there are no annotations. (Eriksen/Moorsom 1989).

Book Description
A detailed, descriptive insight into the history and ecology of the Herero, traditional cattle pastoralists of the northern Kalahari desert. Combining ethnographic detail and extensive data collection and analysis using new methods, the book shows how anthropology can and should be informed by careful study of population dynamics. This unique demographic analysis reveals features of the population - recovery from African infertility, preferential survival of females, extraordinary longevity of the elderly, high rates of child fostering - that have profound importance for social life yet that are missed by much traditional ethnography.

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.

Book Description
Critical Toponymy: Place names in political, historical and commercial landscapes contains a selection of double-blind peer-reviewed papers from the 4th International Symposium on Place Names that took place 18-20 September 2017 in Windhoek, Namibia. These papers present current thinking on how the critical turn in social sciences is manifested in toponymic research, not only locally but also internationally. As such it includes research on place names from South Africa, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Austria, Slovenia, Central America and even the former Czechoslovakia. The contributions show that the etymology of place names are never purely linguistic – social, political, commercial and other factors influence the giving, use and adaptations of these linguistic and cultural artefacts. Furthermore, given their high symbolic content, place names also serve as political and commercial currency. Place names are therefore important symbolic markers in preserving or changing cultural identities, and in marking or facilitating socio-political changes and relations. Critical Toponymy showcases the many ways in which the representational potential of place names can be deployed in different contexts. Scholars as well as practitioners in toponymy and sociolinguistics will find this an illuminating read.
