Namibia's Liberation Struggle: The Mbita Version.

This review article sets in context what is said of the Namibian liberation struggle in the nine volumes of the recently-published Southern African Liberation Struggles series, initiated by the former Executive Secretary of the Organisation of African Unity's Liberation Committee, Hashim Mbita. The article is critical of what the volumes say about the Namibian struggle in part because they do not add significant new analysis but also because of the fragmentary and scattered way in which the history of that struggle, and its transnational aspects, is presented.
