Through its intelligent and coherent organisation, it gives important perspectives on global health, especially considering that more than ten million children in the world suffer from the syndrome now known as severe acute malnutrition annually. In Uganda, malnutrition came to be perceived as a disease rather than a preventable condition, and this severely compromised nutritional health in the East African country. Medical doctors responded to the plummeting nutritional situation by developing a new public health programme known in local parlance as Mwanamugimu. The new approach was unique because it prioritised local expertise and empowerment, blending biomedical knowledge with indigenous African cultural competencies. In the aftermath of its launch, it scored incredible successes.","PeriodicalId":41857,"journal":{"name":"African Historical Review","volume":"51 1","pages":"68 - 72"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/17532523.2020.1721099","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47214933","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on the foregoing, expectations are already heightened whenever one picks up another book on Africa’s development trajectory. This is because there are very deep pockets of disillusionment with Africa’s quest for development since the 1960s waves of decolonisation that were supposed to lift Africa out of the mire of underdevelopment, an uncontested legacy of colonisation. With misses with regard to Millennium Development Goals, which came to a close in 2015, and given uncertainty regarding the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals, coupled with deepseated Afroscepticism and the impoverished lot of large sections of the African population, issues of Africa’s development are very topical. Therefore, any book that puts Africa’s development under a searing microscope and goes beyond lamentations and proposes developmental solutions is a worthy read and an invaluable contribution to development policy. However, does this book fit in this category? In other words, does it rise to the occasion or expectations?","PeriodicalId":41857,"journal":{"name":"African Historical Review","volume":"51 1","pages":"21 - 22"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/17532523.2020.1720163","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42924594","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Jan Smuts and the Indian Question, by Vineet Thakur Jan Smuts与印第安人问题，Vineet Thakur著

However, there have been few new discussions that have come to the fore with this resurgence. Thus it is refreshing when literature emerges that does take on a new and more focused angle. This is what Jan Smuts and the Indian Question by Vineet Thakur does. The focus of the book is on the mostly forgotten political battles between Jan Smuts and a string of highly skilled Indian diplomats. Their main aim was to change the racial discrimination to which Indians living in the Union of South Africa were subjected. It was within these political duels that the Indian diplomats were able to outfox the cunning Smuts by using his own words and philosophies against him. These political tussles took place in two stages, the tail end of the First World War/interwar period and post-Second World War, which presented two very different world orders. Jan Smuts and the Indian Question forms volume 2 of Off-Centre: New Perspectives on Public Issues, a “book series focused on the social, political and cultural life of South Africa and the southern African region” (frontmatter).","PeriodicalId":41857,"journal":{"name":"African Historical Review","volume":"51 1","pages":"17 - 20"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/17532523.2020.1720288","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46190069","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
