Race Against Time: Searching for Hope in Aids-Ravaged Africa by Stephen Lewis

2.0

Lewis provides some interesting and insightful information as to the inner workings of the UN. His passion for the continent of Africa is evident. However, I don't think the speeches read very well, especially for a UN outsider. At times the book reads as extremely preachy and sanctimonious. I appreciate Lewis' aknknowledgment of how the west has played a significant role in the current demise of many African countries but he ignores the complexity of the issues Africa faces. I struggled to finish the book as it became quite dull and repetitive.
