Описание: Studying Malawi`s colonial and post-colonial history, Paul Chiudza Banda analyzes the rise of insurgencies in Malawi and uses the concept of "counterinsurgency" to address the reactions of the state to those who challenged its legitimacy and authority.
Описание: Malawi is one of the smallest and economically the poorest countries in the world. Yet, its impact has given it the name: The "Warm Heart of Africa". In this text, we briefly explore multiple facets of the Malawian people including who they are, their roots, characteristics, and some of their history, culture, environment, education, and healthcare. A landlocked country in the lower southeastern quadrant of Africa, Malawi evolved from British explorers and Scottish missionaries in the 19th century. Since 1994, it has had a democratic form of government. This textbook covers diverse subjects important to the countrys history, culture, environment, education, and healthcare. From personal reflections to research studies, we read about the contributions of the US Peace Corps and Health Volunteers Overseas to Malawis infrastructure, the importance of maize production to the existence of the Malawian people, unique academic programming through US-Malawi partnerships at the College of Medicine and Chancellor Law College, a potential model to improve the continuum of care for people with stroke, and success stories for children with clubfeet and learning disabilities. Creativity and entrepreneurship have enabled drone use for the delivery of medical supplies and to "map" various undeveloped quadrants of Malawi. As one of the first textbooks on Malawi, this one has the unique distinction of showing selected aspects of the country, some of its strengths, limitations, and challenges. Many of the articles were written by Malawian professionals, those working in Malawi, or with intimate knowledge of the country and their chosen topic. Many of the authors have had distinguished careers in academia with substantial research experience, and in the volunteer sector. Nova Science Publishers recognized the importance of Malawi to the African fabric and is on the forefront of sharing it with the rest of the world.

Описание:
This book is a pioneering and comprehensive study of the environmental history of Southern Malawi. With over fifty years of experience, anthropologist and social ecologist Brian Morris draws on a wide range of data – literary, ethnographic and archival – in this interdisciplinary volume.
Specifically focussing on the complex and dialectical relationship between the people of Southern Malawi, both Africans and Europeans, and the Shire Highlands landscape, this study spans the nineteenth century until the end of the colonial period. It includes detailed accounts of the early history of the peoples of Northern Zambezia; the development of the plantation economy and history of the tea estates in the Thyolo and Mulanje districts; the Chilembwe rebellion of 1915; and the complex tensions between colonial interests in conserving natural resources and the concerns of the Africans of the Shire Highlands in maintaining their livelihoods.
A landmark work, Morris’s study constitutes a major contribution to the environmental history of Southern Africa. It will appeal not only to scholars, but to students in anthropology, economics, history and the environmental sciences, as well as to anyone interested in learning more about the history of Malawi, and ecological issues relating to southern Africa.
