Namibia

More about the book

The book explores Namibia's multifaceted landscape, focusing on its economy, governance, and cultural diversity. It highlights the significant economic growth post-1945, particularly in the late 1970s, driven by base metal production, cattle, karakul, and diamond exports. The narrative emphasizes the disparities in wealth between Europeans and black Namibians during this period, alongside the impact of global demand on local industries, particularly diamonds. The work also reflects on Namibia's ethnic tolerance and environmental context.
