One of the posters in a photographic display set entitled THE STRUGGLE FOR INDEPENDENCE IN NAMIBIA AND SOUTHERN RHODESIA (ZIMBABWE) produced by the United Nations Office of Public Information. The poster contains three photographs, which show a white woman wearing a coat made from Namibian furs, open-cast mining by Consolidated Diamond Mines at Oranjemund (which virtually monopolizes diamond mining in Namibia), and a young African sitting in front of a shack. Copper, lead, zinc, and uranium are other profitable Namibian exports. White farmers and foreign mining corporations reap large profits, most of which are sent abroad. The vast majority of blacks labor for very low wages and live in utter poverty, barred from many skilled jobs. Namibia's trade in gem diamonds is second only to South Africa's. The average white miner earns many times more than the average black miner. Size: 52x37 centimeters.
