This book provides an overview of the history, culture, and society
of Namibia, a country on which little information in English
exists. Namibia is a sizeable and significant country in southern
Africa that is little known to the outside world. A vast country of
startling beauty with a storied history, including one of the
world's worst genocides and a war of independence that lasted
nearly a quarter century, this "land between two deserts" is a
fascinating result of its African, German, and English influences.
Culture and Customs of Namibia is one of very few English language
works written about Namibia's history, culture, and society. The
book reveals details about Namibian daily life, gender relations,
modern youth culture, and the influence of traditional cultures
that allow readers to appreciate this country's unique character. A
section on tourism explains how Namibia-an extremely arid country
with an immense number and diversity of wildlife-is on the cutting
edge of ecotourism. Provides a chronology of key events in the
history of Namibia Includes photographs of natural Namibian
settings, such as the desert, colonial architecture, unique plant
and animal life, and Namibia's cultural life An interdisciplinary
bibliography-drawn from history, politics, gender, law and other
relevant fields-provides suggestions for further reading A glossary
contains terms used commonly in contemporary Namibia
