The Moon People And Other Namibian Stories

Entries in the Traditional Story Writing Competition organized by the Namibia Oral Tradition Project, these eleven stories are from various communities in Namibia. They illustrate the dynamic and living tradition of the country's oral culture, and build awareness of the rich and diverse traditions. The Moon People tells of Kalahari desert people who, as the Moon dies for a short while and then grows and lives again, so they too will die for a short while before they walk to their country of the Moon.
