Malawi: struggles for independence

Categories: Sub-Saharan Africa, Malawi, Politics

afrika-aphukira writes on WEB Du Bois and the Malawian struggle for independence [1]. “Today, there is little evidence in Malawi, let alone other African countries, of the ideals that Chilembwe, DuBois and other pan-African leaders fought for a hundred years ago. The Malawian school curriculum has contained a sanitized version of Chilembwe’s nationalism, with no connection to the bigger pan-African context, and its role in framing social justice struggles for black Americans.”
