Product Description

Review

Penetrating... a 21st century manifesto for Africans, drawing on her own experience as a worldly Kenyan, street-fighting activists, member of parliament and, from 2003-2006, government minister. Her analysis is thorough. She reaches into African history, culture, psychology, contemporary politics and fragile ecosystems. Financial Times NELSON MANDELA:'I hope the world will support her vision of hope' Like a Nelson Mandela or a Mahatma Gandhi, Maathai stands way above most mortals. Guardian 'From one of Africa's most positive and far-sighted thinkers comes a wonderful book combining an elegant critique of Africa's troubled past with a rallying cry for how Africans can use culture, nature and self-belief to reverse their continent's decline. The Challenge for Africa is a milestone in African writing that both educates and inspires.' Tim Butcher, author of the bestselling Blood River

She Hit it Right! 16 Nov 2010
Format:Paperback
Prof Wangari Maathai is a visionary to say the least.She weaves through the history,the politics and economic facts very well and truth be told I could not put the book down.I really was challenged as i read the book to help in bettering my country and my continent.The title is truly befitting and all Africans,African leaders and the people need to read this and oh the Bonos as well especially as regards aid.
Simply put amazing,if we all do our part as she says Africa shall surely emerge victorious!

The book is an excellent and insightful piece of work! However the copy I received is VERY poorly bound. The first 44 pages have fallen out and I have not completed the book! The binding is such a disservice to such an important piece of work.
