ISBN: 9781779220158 / Angielski / Miękka / 204 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Independent African countries have faced many challenges on the road to economic and social development.

Where they have been limited in - or neglectful of - their capacity to improve the lives of their people, non-government organisations (NGOs) have been quick to respond. Composing a New Song contains portraits of five such NGOs, from Nigeria, Tanzania, Uganda,...

ISBN: 9781842777657 / Angielski / Miękka / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book looks at the very different responses to the African predicament from prominent writers like Soyinka, Ngugi and Achebe, to the military men in power and the students who defy repression.

The essays in the book give voice to the outrage, ridicule and revolutionary ardour, as well as to the reformist caution, of those directly affected. The shallow pretences of those in power and the hypocrisy and arrogance of the...
