Introduction : two nations in conversation -- First encounters : Livingstone and friends in Malawi -- Scots in Malawi : the early days -- Encounter and transformation -- War and peace -- Colonialism and resistance -- Deepening friendship -- Together against federation -- Achieving independence -- One-party rule and the struggle for democracy -- Malawian democracy, Scottish devolution and partnership renewed -- Conclusion : the conversation continues -- Bibliography.
This pioneering and fascinating book is the first to tell the story of the remarkably enduring bonds between Malawi and Scotland from the time of David Livingstone to the flourishing cultural, economic and religious relationships of the present day. Why should there be any significant relationship between one small nation on Europe's north-western seaboard and another in the interior of Africa? How did it reach the stage where in 2012 Fiona Hyslop, Cabinet Secretary for Culture and External Affairs in the Scottish Government, could describe Malawi as Scotland's "sister nation"? This book attempts an answer.
