MEDIA REVIEWS

I hope the world will support her vision of hope - Nelson Mandela

From one of Africa's most positive and far-sighted thinkers comes a wonderful book combining an elegant critique of Africa's troubled past with a rallying cry for how Africans can use culture, nature and self-belief to reverse their continent's decline. The Challenge for Africa is a milestone in African writing that both educates and inspires - Tim Butcher

Penetrating. . . a 21st century manifesto for Africans, drawing on her own experience as a worldly Kenyan, street-fighting activists, member of parliament and, from 2003-2006, government minister. Her analysis is thorough. She reaches into African history, culture, psychology, contemporary politics and fragile ecosystems - Financial Times

Like a Nelson Mandela or a Mahatma Gandhi, Maathai stands way above most mortals - The Guardian

Wangari Maathai is a prophet for our time - Alexandra Fuller

As one of the women leaders that are changing Africa she is an inspiration to us all - Gordon Brown

Wangari Maathai has been a champion of the environment, of women, of Africa, and of anyone concerned about our future security - Kofi Annan
