A propos de cet article

With rather pointed dedication by Kenneth Kaunda to James B. Burnham on front free endpaper: "For Mr. James B. Burnham. God Made Man in his image. He will not and should not be the object of exploitation and oppression. God Bless. KD State House, Lusaka. 14th October 1983". Dustjacket in plastic protective cover. Slight shelfwear to covers. Slight spot of damage to bottom front cover dustjacket and small spot of soiling on back cover of dustjacket.; "Kaunda on Violence" delves into Kenneth Kaunda's arguments against the use of violence for achieving political ends, emphasizing a philosophical and ethical critique. As Zambia’s first President, Kaunda discusses the detrimental impacts of violence on societal progress and advocates for peaceful methods to address political issues, drawing from his Christian beliefs and admiration for Mahatma Gandhi's non-violent resistance. He promotes the concept of humanism, which advocates for the inherent dignity of all individuals and the importance of communal harmony. The book is dedicated by Kenneth Kaunda to James B. Burnham on October 14, 1983. The tone of the dedication can be understood in the context of the Zambian debt crisis during the 1980s, as detailed in various economic reports, suggesting a period of intense economic and political turmoil in Zambia, which underscored the relevance of non-violent principles in statecraft and economic management. Kenneth Kaunda (1924-2021) served as the first President of Zambia from 1964 to 1991. Before his presidency, he was a significant figure in the struggle for independence from British colonial rule. Kaunda's tenure was marked by efforts to promote social development and manage Zambia’s economy within the framework of African socialism and his philosophy of "Zambian Humanism." His leadership faced challenges, including economic difficulties exacerbated by a dependence on copper exports. Post-presidency, Kaunda became an active participant in various humanitarian and peace initiatives across Africa. James B. Burnham was an American economic advisor involved in international development during the late 20th century. His career included significant roles such as serving as the U. S. Executive Director of the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development, as nominated in 1983. Burnham’s work focused on economic strategies and development policies, particularly in contexts of financial crisis and restructuring. The dedication of Kaunda’s book to Burnham in 1983 reflects a mutual recognition of the challenges Zambia faced during its debt crisis, highlighting Burnham’s role in international economic arenas that were crucial for countries like Zambia struggling with debt and economic management issues.; 21 x 13.4 x 2.2 cms; 184 pages.…
