“A HISTORY OF RESISTANCE IN NAMIBIA 

After enduring 23 years of illegal occupation by neighboring South Africa, Namibia won the right to hold democratic elections in a 1989 UN sponsored agreement. This achievement was the result of years of popular Action (resistance) against German and South African occupation. Leading Namibian historian Dr. Peter Katjavivi has here provided a lively account of many of the struggles that led up to the historic elections and which will inform Namibia’s continuing quest for self-determination: 

* the Herero, Nama and other popular resistance to German conquest 

* the South African takeover of Namibia under the League of Nations Mandata 

* land, labour and other community based resistance from 1920 to 1960 

* the emergence of nationalists organizations 

* appeals to the United Nations and the Inteenational Court of Justice 

* nationalist responses to South Africa’s bantustan policy 

* the war of liberation and the role of neighboring Angola 

Dr. Katjavivi is a representative in the Namibian Constituent Assembly and a prominent member of South West Africa People’s Organization (SWAPO). He earned his doctorate in philosophy from Oxford University. Currently a member of the Southern African Research Program at Yale University, Dr. Katjavivi is the author of ‘The Road to Namibian Independence’ and co-editor of ‘Church and Liberation in Namibia’.“
