Reviews

'Drawing upon insights from anthropology as well as a number of remarkable interviews he conducted with Namibians who had been in exile, Williams's 'historical ethnography' is rich and sophisticated. No one concerned with SWAPO's exile history in future will be able to ignore this book.' Christopher Saunders, Journal of Contemporary History
