(The New Internationalist Magazine) maintains an easy lead as the most readable, interesting, controversial and informative magazine on questions of development
What motivated the founders of the New Internationalist magazine was a high idealism; a real sense that we could change things; that if people knew the facts about what was going on, then they could actually have the wherewithal to campaign and try to make the world a better place.
I can certainly commend the New Internationalist for quick postage & handling - I ordered it on the web and it arrived at my door within 2-3 days, awesome compared to the usual 1 month+ with Amazon!
The New Internationalist magazine has won the Paul Hoffman Prize, awarded for NI's outstanding contribution to world development.
A soft cotton scarf from Mali featuring a bold design in earthy traditional colours. The centuries-old technique used to produce these scarves is called "bogolanfini", which involves dyeing the raw cotton cloth with fermented mud and fixing the mud dye with a solution of boiled leaves - hence the term mud cloth.
Cool, contemporary and casual, this scarf will suit both young and old, and men and women.
200 x 38 cm.
Hand wash in cold water, dry flat.
