Heicke Becker chronicles the life and legacy of Andimba Toivo ya Toivo (1924-2017), a towering figure in Namibia's fight for freedom. Combining a concise biography with speeches, petitions, and other writings by ya Toivo (as well as the work of some of his comrades), Becker uncovers lesser-known chapters of the Namibian nationalist struggle and captures the enduring relevance of visions rooted in pan-African ideals and a global commitment to justice.
