Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dan Moyane was 10 years old when he lay on his back on a patch of grass at his parents' home in White City Jabavu, Soweto, looking at the moon and thinking, 'I don't want to die unknown.' The year was 1969, and Neil Armstrong and his team had recently achieved immortality by completing the first moon landing. It was the knowledge that the astronauts would be remembered as long as the world turned that made Dan realise that he, too, would like to be remembered by people outside of his immediate community, just as he would like to find out more about what lay beyond his horizon. Dan's insatiable curiosity and love of learning have ensured that his name has, indeed, become known throughout South Africa. This is the story of how he achieved his goal – from his days as a student at the apex of South Africa's political turmoil, to his years in exile in Mozambique and his first job in media, and the trajectory of a career that would see him become one of South Africa's most highly regarded and influential broadcasters. It is a career that led Dan to interview prominent leaders in Mozambique and South Africa and become acquainted with the likes of Nelson Mandela and Graça Machel, and saw him cover the country's birth into democracy, and help shape South Africans' understanding of the changed world around them. I Don't Want to Die Unknown delves into these experiences, giving a glimpse into the inquisitiveness and desire to know more, do more and be more that has driven Dan Moyane. It offers a rare insight into the man behind the microphone – his ambitions, trials, and motivations. Part memoir, part legacy, this book bears testimony to the fact that far from dying unknown, Dan is one of South Africa's most important, high profile media players and his story provides the framework for his next significant question: How best to use his public profile to benefit his countrymen.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essays about the original Black Panther Party’s local chapters in seven American cities that seek “to move beyond the usual media stereotypes . . . Recommended” (Choice). The Black Panther Party for Self-Defense was founded in Oakland, California, in 1966 by Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale. It was perhaps the most visible of the Black Power groups in the late sixties and early seventies, not least because of its confrontational politics, its rejection of nonviolence, and its headline-catching, gun-toting militancy. Important on the national scene and highly visible on college campuses, the Panthers also worked at building grassroots support for local black political and economic power. Although there have been many books about the Black Panthers, none has looked at the organization and its work at the local level. This book goes beyond Oakland and Chicago examines the work and actions of seven local initiatives in Baltimore, Winston-Salem, Cleveland, Indianapolis, Milwaukee, Philadelphia, and Los Angeles. These local organizations are revealed as committed to programs of community activism that focused on problems of social, political, and economic justice.
Download or read book Mozambique s Samora Machel written by Allen F. Isaacman and published by Ohio University Press. This book was released on 2020-09-08 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The precipitous rise and controversial fall of a formidable African leader. Samora Machel (1933–1986), the son of small-town farmers, led his people through a war against their Portuguese colonists and became the first president of the People’s Republic of Mozambique. Machel’s military successes against a colonial regime backed by South Africa, Rhodesia, the United States, and its NATO allies enhanced his reputation as a revolutionary hero to the oppressed people of Southern Africa. In 1986, during the country’s civil war, Machel died in a plane crash under circumstances that remain uncertain. Allen and Barbara Isaacman lived through many of these changes in Mozambique and bring personal recollections together with archival research and interviews with others who knew Machel or participated in events of the revolutionary or post-revolutionary years.

Book excerpt: A Globalised Individual Each time I review my humble beginnings in the northern shores of Malawi I can’t help but see a long and torturous yet rewarding journey through life. Long and torturous because many tedious and risky trips to various parts of the world were involved and rewarding because the journeys involved exciting and enlightening experiences. I suppose the most rewarding outcome from the journeys is my having become a globalized individual. This spiritual and intellectual maturation is as much the result of my experience with the diversity of humanity across the globe as it is the result of my unrelenting pursuit of secular and spiritual education. Yet my role in the fight against a dictatorship and poor human rights conditions in Malawi didn’t play an insignificant role in my personal growth. Therefore the history of my personal growth is a history of world travel, secular education, and many solicitous trips into my inner space. As a globalized individual, not only am I free of all forms of prejudice, I am also capable of a world-embracing vision that extends well into the future of humanity. I am thus open-minded and a believer in peace and unity at all levels of the world community. Moreover I am a lover of God, people, and nature - a disposition of spirituality and freedom. Thus, because I love I am free. Birth Reflections & Socio-Cultural Background Moments after residents of Chitimba village had throbbed the typically silent midnights of their village with tom-toms and ululations, to welcome New Year’s Day, the festive mood in my extended family was joyously interrupted by our family midwives and senior women as they expeditiously concocted maternity herbs in preparation for my birth. Having been informed of what was in the offing, the elderly and wise men of my family maintained vigil in support of the women as they also tried to discern the demeanour of the spirit person coming forth to add to the head count in their big family. But even as the elderly men maintained the posture of expectation, they knew they shouldn’t get close to where women laboured. Among my people the world of women was separate from that of men; and childbirth was ever a matter exclusive to the world of women. Even today no male is allowed to attend a traditionally supervised birth; and no male, apart from the father, is allowed to see the newly born child until the ritual of showing the baby out a couple of weeks later is complete. Although modern hospitals and clinics encourage men to witness the birth of their children, most men don’t feel free to attend in fear of lifting the perceived sacredness surrounding child birth. Fighting Upon Arrival My generation in Malawi was fated to face successive life battles that would threaten on multiple fronts from day one. Right from birth we faced inadequate nutrition, poverty, and disease. It was only by nature’s design that our infantile entry into battle with our adversaries did accelerate our defences against them. Another battle we were born into was to retain our cultural identity and political independence in the face of a foreign government over us. The fight for freedom brought turmoil and fear into my growth environment; and the fight protracted into my early years so that I actually experienced its heat then. It was rather unfortunate that soon after independence from Britain and before we could find our own voice in the world community of nations, we had to enter another battle against home-grown autocracy and repression - a battle that my generation would own and which would exile me. It was the fight against autocracy and repression that saw me on the frontline of the political and diplomatic offensive against the regime of Dr. Banda in Malawi. Thus, this story is about my life at the centre of all those life battles; especially the battle against dictatorship in Malawi– a fight that kept me in exile for an extended period of time

Book excerpt: African news making headlines today is dominated by disaster: wars, famine, HIV. Those who respond - from stars to ordinary citizens - are learning that real solutions require more than charity. This book provides a comprehensive, panoramic view of US activism in Africa from 1950 to 2000, activism grounded in a common struggle for justice. It portrays organisations, activists and networks that contributed to African liberation and, in turn, shows how African struggles informed US activism, including the civil rights and black power movements.
