NNB, Namibische National-Bibliographie, 1978-1979
In the absence of an authoritative national bibliography run by a national archive or a national library, this series of meticously compiled bibliographies is a welcome substitute. The three cumulative volumes cover the period 1971-1980, tapping a wide range of sources from inside and outside Namibia, contain more than 4500 entries. The scope of NNB is all written materials of Namibian concern, no matter where or in which language they have been published. The NNB consists of two parts: a classified list of title-entries according to subject and an author/title index. The principle of "autopsy" has been used systematically, so that only titles which have been catalogued by personal inspection are listed, and in most cases the location of the items has been indicated. (Eriksen/Moorsom 1989).
The Other Presence
"The other presence is a novel that depicts and portrays beliefs, attitudes and viewpoints of African village people on the concept of death. The underlying belief is that, in African traditional set-ups, there is no death that occurs innocently. Behind every death, there is some form of mysterious work by either a sorcerer or a spell. Even in the situation where a Western clinic diagnoses a patient as a HIV carrier, the cause of the death of that person would have to be interrogated. The book illustrates how elder Sinvula, battles with the insinuations and accusations that he is responsible for the death of his nephew, Akapelwa. Ma Simanga, the bereaved mother has vowed not to leave a stone unturned. This time, she would stretch her trip to East Africa where answers would be given about the cause of her son's death. As in other deaths in her family, the pension payout from the deceased's contributions would be used to pay the seers."--Page 4 of cover
