Publisher's Synopsis
No matter how little one knows about Africa, people in the West cannot help but hear of raging poverty and out-of-control wars. Defying these popular misconceptions, Seeds Bearing Fruit recounts stories of seemingly minor, local acts of creative resistance - acts that form the concrete basis for realistic hope. Based on an understanding that these acts will flower into new movements, this volume brings together stories from grassroots activists, academics, non-violent campaigners, local government officials and researchers from a variety of fields.
