The central character is an academic in linguistics who occasionally acts as a British agent. He is a cynical, private individual who sees himself as a neutral observer but is eventually forced to take sides when he witnesses the atrocities of the Herero and Nama genocide and, above all, meets a young Nama woman who enchants him. The novel explores the shifting nature of the oppressor and the oppressed. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDespite the unfolding tragic events, the story is lightened by surprising bursts of humour, and is ultimately a love story.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jaspar David Utley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9991642358\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789991642352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Univ. of Namibia Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/29\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 202\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.48lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.51d","brand":"Jaspar David Utley","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44079726428415,"sku":"9789991642352","price":25.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_38794c35-c5a2-48a7-a1c9-0803b7dc468a.jpg?v=1685482790","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-lie-of-the-land-jaspar-david-utley-9789991642352","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
