This new electronic edition of The Quiet Struggle is the thoroughly revised second
printed edition including two completely new chapters – on information needs and
existing responses in African communities, and on ideas and experiments for new
information services to the whole community. This substantially altered the emphasis
of the book, so that it dealt more directly with information and libraries for the
people of Africa.
The Quiet Struggle contains not only a programme for a more relevant approach to
conventional library service in Africa, but also a more thoroughly worked-out rationale
for informal information services to the local community. This is based on new research
on communication at village level in Malawi, and investigations into initiatives in
information work in Senegal and Zimbabwe.
