Magomero is the history, since 1859, of a Malawian village. The region saw historically important political activity, in the founding of a colony of freed slaves and the rising of an independent church movement against white estate owners. Here Landeg White, offers an 'inside view' of social, political and economic change in Malawi.
Magomero is a vivid historical portrait of a Malawian village from 1859 to the present day. It focuses on a region which saw historically important political activity, in the founding of a colony of freed slaves and the rising of an independent church movement against white estate owners. With the dual concerns of a Southern African specialist and a poet, Landeg White offers an 'inside' view of social, political and economic change in Malawi, seen through the lives of individuals: the ordinary men and women, whose situation and poverty have hitherto prevented recognition of their vital contribution to African history.
