History
Malawi, a Place Apart
by Asbjørn Eidhammer
Description
‘It is the stranger who comes with a sharper blade’, claims one Malawian adage. But stranger Asbjørn Eidhammer is not. He worked tirelessly with Malawians for more than eight years as Norwegian ambassador to Malawi during politically difficult times. Malawi – A Place Apart is a unique and welcome update of the story of the nation examined from the point of view of a highly observant outsider. His subtle exposure of the sometimes hidden economic mismanagement is particularly poignant when people are crying out for open societies everywhere. – Professor Jack Mapanje, author of Of Chameleons and Gods
