Let Us Die For Africa. An African Perspective on the life and death of John Chilembwe
D D Phiri
Published by Central Africana, Blantyre, Malawi 1999 1st edition, 1999
ISBN 10: 9990814171 ISBN 13: 9789990814170
This is a biography of John Chilembwe as seen through the eyes of a fellow Malawian educator. Though his name is generally mentioned in the context of the abortive rising against colonial rule in 1915, he is now widely recognised as a pioneer in the history of modern education in Central Africa.
As Malawi’s first independence fighter, he has become the national hero of Malawi and has been featured on every Malawian bank note.
This book attempts to present, from an African perspective a more complete picture of John Chilembwe’s life and death. Complementing the study is a foreword by world-famous Chilembwe authority Professor George Shepperson and an appendix, in essay form, from Chilembwe scholar, David Stuart-Mogg.
