African Voices on Development and Social Justice: Editorials from Pambazuka News 2004

This book is a collection of trenchant editorials from Pambazuka News, a weekly electronic newsletter on social justice in Africa. The editorials were published in 2004 on the organisation’s website, which has established a reputation of telling like it is when it comes to issues impinging on the development of Africa.

Like Africa Week magazine (which publishes not only on the web but in hard copy form), Pambazuka is out to bat for Africa. It carries commentaries and analyses on topical issues relating to the continent. In the current climate of Western dominance of global news dissemination, Pambazuka is truly providing a voice for Africa.

The publishers of this great collection are based in Dar es Salaam and they have done a great job to get this book out. Covering such topics as the World Bank, Darfur, Rwanda, and the rights of women in Africa, it is a veritable source of informed comment on matters that Africans feel strongly about.

Africans or others, tired of the Western media’s blinkered coverage of African issues, would do well to get a copy of this book, which will offer them better insights into the continent.
