Über dieses Buch

Colin Winter was the Anglican bishop in Namibia up to his expulsion by the South African authorities in 1972, and thereafter championed the cause of national liberation as bishop in exile until his death in 1982. In this personal story he chronicles the contributions which the churches, with his own courageously in the forefront, have come to make towards national independence in Namibia. Of special interest are the chapters dealing with living conditions for Africans in Windhoek, the migrant labour system, the strike in 1971-72, his visit to Ovamboland and the trial of 12 Namibians accused of having "incited" workers to stay away from work. The bishop also brings a sober indictment against the churches who have been unwilling to confront the colonial regime. (Eriksen/Moorsom 1989).
