Toa Tama !Khams Ge' : remembering the war in Namakhoeland, 1903-1908

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

This is the first opportunity that I have been blessed with to write about the history of Namibia, and it is an esteem honour to honour to have ventured in this line of work. I was born in Namibia and studied history at high school. My classmates and I were not thoroughly taught the history of Namibia or Africa as a whole, and thus we never heard our story. I found it ironic that we sat in a history class in Namibia and our entire curriculum in our senior year of high school contained sections on other countries and continents, except Africa.
