Autor Harvey J. Sindima
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 13 aug 2002
Malawi's First Republic combines archival materials, government publications, newspapers and personal accounts to illustrate the problems of economic development and party politics in post colonial Africa. Malawi's economic development stands in stark contrast to its political reality. This book reviews the development of a one party system, the hero cult, implements of dissent, foreign and domestic policies, and the end of the First Republic.

Recenzii

Malawi's First Republic represents a bold step into the substance of political economy, amassing an impressive range of statistical detail and critical analysis...This book answers a demand for fresh perspectives on the country's modern history.
This volume will obviously interest those concerned about Malawi and will also appeal to those wanting greater detail on this country, which held positions that ran counter to those of many of its neighbors. Summing Up: Optional. Comprehensive academic and public library collections.
...it is a good book, on an important subject, and a welcome addition to the growing literature on Malawi's economic and political history.
Sindima's book does raise interesting issues that deserve further examination that no doubt will take many more studies to explore fully. ..one hopes that this book will find its way into the hands of an undergraduate at Chancellor College, who will use it as a stepping stone to pursue deeper investigations into the postcolonial history of one of southern Africa's less-studied countries.
