10 bilingual stories – portraits, descriptions and reports – about Zambia, a country which is easy to spot on a map of Africa because of its embryo like shape. Little known as a holiday destination in spite of its huge potential, vast national parks and the fabulous Victoria Falls in the south-west of the country close to bordering Zimbabwe.
The stories reveal the sharp contrast between rich and poor, between tradition and trendiness, between black and white. They feature a country which has only just managed to leap into the club of countries with middle income and whose policy-makers are faced with tremendous challenges after the latest presidential election – to preserve the achievements
and reduce the remaining rather substantial poverty.
