A brief psycho-political analysis revolving around protectorate and
post-protectorate events in which the older Malawian generation participated over half a century ago, and post-protectorate contemporary events the younger Malawian generation are currently experiencing. Reconciling Our Past for A Future forms a mental picture of how past protectorate events shaped the sociocultural, sociopolitical and socioeconomic current state of affairs. Importantly, it offers a fundamental reimagining of how the succeeding generation could be shaping the inherent future. Beginning with a personal narrative and ending with a critical thought-provoking assessment, it reveals how religion, democracy, republic and constitution practically sharpen the characteristic spirit of Malawian culture, politics and economy as manifested in its attitudes and aspirations.
