the year’s events, African Awakening: The Emerging
Revolutions (http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=0uo0UIW%2FWAOMI2ZNiJrtVZ2eP%2FX1awUN) 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.
The book's contributing authors include:
Charles Abugre, Essam Al-Amin, Massan d'Almeida, Samir Amin, Patrick Bond,
Horace Campbell, Lila Chouli, Sokari Ekine, Hassan El Ghayesh, Lakhdar Ghettas,

Sharife, Yash Tandon, Melakou Tegegn, Kah Walla.
Firoze
Manji is the founder and editor-in chief of Pambazuka News and
Pambazuka Press. You are invited to meet and hear Firoze discuss 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. Firoze will be joined
by Bill Fletcher jr for a conversation about international solidarity, drawing
links with struggles for freedom and justice in the US as well.
