In this urgent yet optimistic new work, Wangari
Maathai
-
winner of the
2004
Nobel Peace
Prize and founder of the Green Belt Movement
-
provides a unique perspective on the fate of
Africa, and offers hope for a new way forward.
The challenges facing Africa are real and vast:
terrible conflicts wrack the Darfur region of
Sudan, southern Somalia, the Niger delta and
eastern Congo; elections have been violently
contested in Kenya and Zimbabwe; drought
and floods are prevalent in both west and east;
and
HIV/
AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis ravage
the continent. Natural resources are drying up;
deforestation and desertification are decimating
the continent s landscape; and changing rainfall
patterns
-
partly the result of global warming
-
directly jeopardise the livelihood of the great
majority of Africans who still rely on the land
for their survival.
All too often, however, Africa s problems are
reduced to a series of tableaux
vivants
connoting
dependency, desperation or savagery. What is
needed is a different vision
-
one that comes
out of Africa, from an African. Informed by
the author s three decades as an environmental
activist and campaigner for democracy,
The Challenge for Africa surveys what is
really hampering the continent s development
-
principally cultural deracination, the
internalisation
of the western media s countless
images of despair, and enduring poverty
-
and
argues that the future of Africa lies not in
international aid, but in the hands of
Africans themselves.
Written in Wangari Maathai s searingly decisive
yet inspiring voice, and offering nothing less than
a manifesto for twenty-first-century Africa,
The Challenge for Africa celebrates the enduring
potential of the human spirit, and reminds us
that change is always possible.
Wangari
Muta
Maathai was born in
Nyeri,
Kenya, in
1940.
She is the founder of the
Green Belt Movement, which, through
networks of rural women, has planted
over
30
million trees across Kenya since
1977.
In
2002,
she was elected to Kenya s
Parliament in the first free elections
in a generation, and served as Deputy
Minister for the Environment and Natural
Resources. The Nobel Peace Prize laureate
of
2004,
she has three grown children and
lives and works in Nairobi.
