A new book on the history of the Baster community of Rehoboth, Namibia by expert Dr. Cornelia Limpricht

A new book on the history of the Baster community of Rehoboth, Namibia by expert Dr. Cornelia Limpricht.

Dr. Cornelia Limpricht has done year long research on the history of the Baster community of Rehoboth in Namibia. Her new book is expected to set new standards.

Over 130 years ago a group of people known as the Basters migrated from De Tuin in the Northern Cape to settle here peacefully. Various aspects of this community and how it has retained its identity and common purpose are described in this well researched book. The book comprises 15 articles which paint a picture of life in a unique region that has one of the most scenic landscapes in Namibia. The land issue is the underlying, critical factor in all the articles. Cornelia Limpricht, cultural historian, is the editor and principal contributor of Rehoboth, Namibia - Past & Present. Other contributers are Hartmut Lang, Dirk Wesuls, Sidney L. Harring, Ibo Zimmermann and Christiane Naumann. All text is written in English. In Namibia the book may be obtained in all mayor book stores, all orders from outside Namibia are processed and shipped worldwide by Namibiana Buchdepot (www.namibiana.de).
