Women Journalists in Namibia's Liberation Struggle, 1985-1990
Author: Maria Mboono Nghidinwa
Format: Paperback
This study investigates the experiences of women journalists during the last phase of Namibia's liberation struggle against South African rule. Black or white, women journalists in Namibia made significant contribu-tions to the liberation cause – including the founding of a high-profiled newspaper – whilst others worked for media sympathetic to the apartheid government.
Based on interviews and deploying feminist media theory, Maria Mboono Nghidinwa pays close attention to the gendered power relationships in the newsrooms of newspapers and radio stations at the time. She looks at the intense political intimidations which tar-geted women and, in particular, the constraints experienced by black women journalists.
