商品簡介
Waters, editor of New International magazine and president of Pathfinder press, has teamed with Koppel (managing editor, The Militant newsweekly) to underscore the social transformations of the capitalist and working classes of Equatorial Guinea that are emerging with the development of the oil extraction industry. Written for those interested in international development and economics, this volume combines this narrative with the story of Cuban medical volunteers who have traveled to Africa to work alongside and train Guinean medical personnel as they build a health care system throughout the country for the first time. A final section, Waters' "reporter's notebook" based upon her 2005 and 2008 visits to Equatorial Guinea, gives the reader a broader picture of life, labor, and politics in that country.
