It’s Our Turn to Eat de Michela Wrong
Descripción - Críticas ‘A down-to-earth yet sophisticated expose of how an entire country can be munched in the clammy claws of corruption.’ The Economist, BOOKS OF THE YEAR‘A lively and detailed account of the looting of Kenya by its politicians…A shocking tale told with verve and suspense.’ The Times‘An exceptionally talented writer…More than a story about a whistle-blower, and more than about Kenya. It could have been written anywhere where corruption is endemic.’ Guardian‘The story offers a fascinating insight into Kenya and is a thrilling whodunit, worthy of John Le Carre.’ the london paper‘Michella Wrong has written a compelling book. Well researched, poignant.’ Graham Boyton, Daily Telegraph‘A gripping new biography-cum-thriller.’ Evening Standard Reseña del editor A gripping account of both an individual caught on the horns of an excruciating moral dilemma and a continent at a turning point.When Michela Wrong’s Kenyan friend John Githongo appeared one cold February morning on the doorstep of her London flat, carrying a small mountain of luggage, it was clear something had gone very wrong in a country regarded until then as one of Africa’s few budding success stories.Two years earlier, in the wave of euphoria that followed the election defeat of long-serving President Daniel arap Moi, John had been appointed Kenya’s new anti-corruption czar. In choosing this giant of a man, respected as a longstanding anti-corruption crusader, the new government was signalling that it was set on ending the practices that had made Kenya an international by-word for sleaze.Now John was on the run, having realised that the new administration, far from breaking with the past, was using near-identical techniques to pilfer public funds. John’s tale, which has all the elements of a political thriller, is the story of how a brave man came to make a lonely decision with huge ramifications. But his story transcends the personal, touching as it does on the cultural, historical and social themes that lie at the heart of the continent’s continuing crisis.Tracking this story of an African whistleblower, Michela Wrong seeks answers to the questions that have puzzled outsiders for decades. What is it about African society that makes corruption so hard to eradicate, so sweeping in its scope, so destructive in its impact? Why have so many African presidents found it so easy to reduce all political discussion to the self-serving calculation of which tribe gets to ‘eat’? And at what stage will Africans start placing the wider interests of their nation ahead of the narrow interests of their tribe? Biografía del autor Michela Wrong is a distinguished international journalist, and has worked as a foreign correspondent covering events across the African continent for Reuters, the BBC and the Financial Times.Based on her experiences in Africa, ‘In the Footsteps of Mr Kurtz’, her first book, won the PEN James Sterne Prize for non-fiction. Her book ‘I Didn’t Do It for You’ focuses on the African nation of Eritrea.
