Goodbye, Dr Banda: Lessons for the West From a Small African Country ‘Yomay never have been, may never go, may never even have heard of the place –but Malawi will repay your attention. It is one of the smallest, poorest countries in Africa, often overlooked but its relationship with us in the West has been extraordinary.’Ina ruined dictator’spalace, Alexander Chula –a classicist- turned-doctor, fresh out of Oxford –stumbles upon an oak treasure chest. Inside is a priceless, antique edition of Julius Caesar’sGallic War. This unexpected talisman of Western high culture belongs to the mercurial Dr Banda, a man of many parts: scholarly physician, anti-colonial hero, brutal tyrant, and fallen philosopher-king.Banda leads the author deep into the heart of this mysterious country, there to uncover a bizarre meeting of worlds: between one of Africa's most fascinating indigenous cultures and the best and worst of our own. Here tribal ritual collides with Greek theatre masked dancers with roving classicists poets and pop stars with missionary-explorers hippies and kleptocrats with long- suffering peasants.The story is enigmatic but exhilarating, by turns edifying and deeply uncomfortable. But we would do well to examine it: Malawi presents urgent lessons which resonate piercingly in our vexed age of culture wars and identity crisis.
