Additional information
by Patrick Burnett (Editor), Firoze Manji (Editor)
This book provides African perspectives on development and social justice in Africa, something which rarely finds expression in the mainstream Northern media. 2005 was the year of Africa. Trade, debt relief and aid were on the international agenda, so it was imperative that African voices were heard. This book is a collection of the 2004 editorials of Pambazuka News, and its 46 contributors include such distinguished African intellectuals and activists as Demba Moussa Dembélé, Mahmood Mamdani, Adebayo Olukoshi, Kwesi Kwaa Prah, Brian Raftopoulos, Pierre Sané and Ernest Wamba dia Wamba.
