OverviewWhat is it like to live in, not just travel, to a country that is far away and completely different from anywhere that you have ever visited, let alone lived in? What do people all over the world have in common? A Canadian university professor, deprived of the job she loved because of her age, found an answer to these questions when she moved to the country of Botswana to teach at a university there. She tells us about her three years in that country with humour, insight, astute political analysis and much more. We learn about love, sex and marriage, food, fun and crime or lack thereof in the daily lives of the friendly, hospitable and helpful people of Botswana. They spring to life and become the readers' friends as they became hers. Grandma's Gone to Africa is a thoroughly good and easy read. It could be a vacation in Africa from the comfort of your armchair or preparation for such a trip. And it will strengthen your belief in the common humanity of us all. If you want to feel good about the world and the humans thereon, this is the right book for you.

Table of ContentsReviewsAuthor InformationEdelgard Mahant is a product of the maelstrom that was Europe during and after World War II, from whence comes her interest in international relations and human rights. After undergraduate studies at the University of British Columbia and a year at the University of Toronto, she obtained a PhD from the London School of Economics and Political Science. She has taught at Laurentian University in northern Ontario, Glendon College in Toronto as well as the University of Botswana. She has been a visiting professor in Rennes, France and in Hong Kong. This is her first non-academic book; she loves to teach as much as she loves to write; teaching in and writing about Botswana was her idea of heaven. Edelgard Mahant lives in Toronto, Canada with her husband and son and not too far from her daughter and grandchildren. Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
