Leys, Colin.
Namibia's liberation struggle : the two-edged sword / Colin Leys & John S. Saul ; with contributions by Susan Brown [and others]. - London : Athens, Ohio : James Currey ; Ohio University Press, 1995. - x, 212 pp: 3 maps ; 25 cm
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Diplomacy by other means--SWAPO's liberation war / Susan Brown -- SWAPO : the politics of exile / John S. Saul & Colin Leys -- SWAPO inside Namibia / Colin Leys & John S. Saul -- The churches / Philip Steenkamp -- The Namibian student movement : its role & effects / Sipho S. Maseko -- State & civil society : policing in transition / Colin Leys -- War, peace & social classes / Chris Tapscott -- SWAPO in office / Lauren Dobell -- The legacy : an afterword / John S. Saul & Colin Leys.
Not a history of the 23-year struggle by the South West African People's Organization to free Namibia from the rule of South Africa, but a study of how that struggle impacted the liberation movement itself and the political culture bequeathed to the country at independence. The main point is that democracy was severely suppressed in order to achieve the victory against such overwhelming force, and that the subsequent government, liberal rather than democratic, is ultimately answerable to the people, but not under their immediate control.
