- Summary:
- Namibia remains relatively unknown outside of Africa. Highlighting both continuity and change in this large country that won its independence from South Africa in 1990, Ejikeme (history, Trinity U., San Antonio, Texas) provides an insider's perspective on its history, foreign influences, ethnic diversity, daily life, traditional and contemporary arts, gender roles, social customs and contemporary challenges, and growing ecotourism. The volume includes a chronology, map, glossary of commonly used terms, and photographs. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
