Not only the students, but also the public should have access to the Information of the Polytechnic Library. That’s why the 13th of November the US embassy wants to open the “AMERICAN CORNER BLANTYRE” (ACM). The ACM is some sort of reading are, where the Malawian public can use the Internet for their research as well, as the books that were brought from an american Library. So far this seems to be a nice idea. A deed of which the american embassy is proud of itself. But what else would you call more imperialistic than development aid: The furniture was entirely produced in the united states and imported to Malawi. Under the cover of altruism in this way the american industrie is assisted more than the local one. We all know that in Blanytre you can find a lot of very nicely produced furniture made out of the best Malawian woods (Mulanje Ceder, Mahagoni wood etc.) and you would assist the local industry. (Here I’d like to take reference to the locally produced CD-duplicator case.) This way you would make sure the impact to the local carpenter would be longer lasting and effective.
