The Challenge for Africa
The troubles of Africa today are severe and wide-ranging. Here Wangari Maathai, Nobel Peace Prize laureate and founder of the Green Belt Movement, offers a refreshingly unique perspective on these challenges, even as she calls for a moral revolution among Africans themselves. Yet, too often, they are portrayed by the media in extreme terms connoting poverty, dependence, and desperation.
She deftly describes what Africans can and need to do for themselves, stressing all the while responsibility and accountability. Illuminating the complex and dynamic nature of the continent, Maathai offers "hardheaded hope" and "realistic options" for change and improvement. Impassioned and empathetic, "The Challenge for Africa" is a book of immense importance.
