Malawi – A Place Apart

“Combining aspects of history, cultural studies, personal memoir and opinion, this rarely published and hard hitting perspective from a former senior member of the donor community analyses the past, current and future prospects of Malawi politics and economics. The book proves yet again the adage that ‘sometimes the mlendo (visitor) has the sharper [analytical] knife’ with its examination of the issues of politics, poverty and the relationship — or lack of it — between Malawi and its development partners. Throughout it all the author’s love for the ‘Warm heart of Africa’ shines through and all who love Malawi will be stimulated and enriched by this book.” – Dr John Lwanda, author of Kamuzu Banda of Malawi: A Study in Promise, Power and Legacy.
