| It is symptomatic of Namibia's plight and continued lack of sovereignty that there is no central authority charged with drawing up a truly national bibliography for the country. To date the scholar or layman seeking Namibian material has generally had to make his or her own ad hoc investigations or rely on the few extent bibliographies which, as Eriksen rightly points out in his introduction, are generally too narrowly focused, incomplete, insufficiently annotated or increasingly outdated. The fact that 40 per cent of the items cited in this volume have appeared since the beginning of 1980 is indicative of the increased public, political and academic concern with one of Africa's hitherto most under-researched countries. |
