A burning hunger

Derrick Knight

African communities have had to endure years of outside intervention from individuals and organisations. The actions and achievements of the people themselves are all too rarely acknowledged. Derrick Knight's A Burning Hunger pays tribute to the efforts of ordinary Senegalese - it draws together vivid personal accounts of the lives and work of two generations of farmers, labourers, health workers and others he has talked with on his frequent visits to Senegal.
