An insightful and comprehensive collection of essays on the year’s events, African Awakening, the Emerging Revolutions offers in-the-moment comment and analysis as well as informed reflection on the 2011 African uprisings. While the tumultuous uprisings in Tunisia, Egypt, and Libya have seized the attention of media analysts, the concurrent rebellions in Benin, Gabon, Senegal, Swaziland, Ethiopia, Djibouti, Uganda, and in other parts of the African continent have gone virtually unnoticed (more information on the book at http://fahamubooks.org/book/?GCOI=90638100375050).
Firoze Manji is the founder and editor-in-chief of Pambazuka News and Pambazuka Press. You are invited to meet Firoze and enjoy a discussion of the struggles for democratization in Africa that signal an awakening of the spirit of freedom and justice, after decades of declining living standards, mass unemployment, land dispossessions, and impoverishment of the majority. “After decades of mass unemployment, land grabs and impoverishment, these struggles represent a continent-wide awakening of the spirit of freedom and justice.”
