Acerca de este producto

Product Information

Wangari Maathai, Nobel Peace Prize laureate and founder of the Green Belt Movement, offers a refreshingly unique perspective on the challenges facing Africa, even as she calls for a moral revolution among Africans themselves, who, she argues, are culturally deracinated, adrift between worlds. The troubles of Africa today are severe and wide-ranging. Yet what we see of them in the media, more often than not, are tableaux vivantes connoting poverty, dependence, and desperation. Wangari Maathai presents a different vision, informed by her three decades as an environmental activist and campaigner for democracy. She illuminates the complex and dynamic nature of the continent, and offers "hardheaded hope" and "realistic options" for change and improvement. With clarity of expression, Maathai analyzes the most egregious "bottlenecks to development in Africa," occurring at the international, national, and individual levelscultural upheaval and enduring poverty among themand deftly describes what Africans can and need to do for themselves, stressing all the while responsibility and accountability. Impassioned and empathetic, The Challenge for Africa is a book of immense importance.

Such are the solutions that will bring new light to Africa. I hope the world will support her vision of hope." -Nelson Mandela "Wangari Maathai's story is more than that of one woman's struggles . . . It is also the story of Kenya, Africa, and the world.

Well packed, as photographed and described. Worked fine just out of the box. Uses 1/8 inch shank bits. Checked Google and this looks to be a challenge finding information on this. Thank You.
