New News out of Africa, de Charlayne Hunter-Gault

30 septembre 2006

Les téléspectateurs de CNN au cours des dernières années connaissent sans doute Charlayne Hunter-Gault, longtemps correspondante de la chaine américaine en Afrique du Sud. Au terme de son parcours africain, la journaliste publie qui a les accents d'un plaidoyer pour une autre couverture médiatique de l'Afrique. Certains critiques lui reprochent, entre autres, d'être restée collée à l'Afrique du Sud, son pays de résidence professionnelle et de ne parler du reste de l'Afrique que de façon marginale.

Charlayne Hunter-Gault, New News out of Africa : Uncovering Africa's Renaissance , Oxford University Press, USA

Présentation de l'éditeur

Widespread AIDS, constant internal strife and corrupt, shaky economies form the largely media-driven image of Africa that many Americans possess, argues veteran correspondent Hunter-Gault in this skillful blend of memoir, reportage and political analysis. The author is determined to deliver some "new news"—or good news—out of Africa, and to challenge facile assumptions that it is a dark, hopeless continent ravaged by the "four D's": death, disaster, disease and despair. Based on lectures Hunter-Gault gave at Harvard University in 2003, while a fellow at the W.E.B. Du Bois Institute for Afro-American Research, the book is divided into three distinct though intrinsically interrelated sections: an analysis of South Africa under apartheid and positive postapartheid developments; the painful yet powerful continent-wide transition from colonialism to democratic reform; and how foreign and African journalists can more accurately report an emerging "African Renaissance," particularly in Rwanda, Kenya, Mozambique, Angola, Ghana, Sierra Leone and Nigeria. Hunter-Gault (In My Place), who lives in Johannesburg, where she is special Africa correspondent for NPR, has written an incisive, informative work that provides a balanced perspective on the continent's recent past, transformative present and potentially rich future.

Qin 110319<br /> We planned our weddings vibram five finger shoes with the help of Barbie dolls and the tiny purple wild flowers growing in our side yard. We became scientists and tested concoctions of milk, orange juice, and mouthwash. We ate handfuls of vibram fivefingers kso bittersweet chocolate chips and licked peanut butter off spoons. When we ran out of sweets to eat, we snitched sugary Flintstones vitamins out of the vibram kso trek medicine cabinet. We became masters of the Kraft macaroni and cheese lunch, and we dutifully called our mother at work three times a day to give her updates on our vibram five fingers sprint adventures. But don't call too often or speak too loudly or whine too much, we told ourselves, or else they'll get annoyed and she'll get fired and the vibram five fingers classic summers will end.<br /> http://www.onfingershoes.com/vibram-five-fingers-kso-trek-c-4.html

Qin 110317<br /> One day a thunderstorm blew up along the Tennessee River. It was one of those moncler down coat storms that make the day go dark and the humidity disappear. First it was still and quiet. There was electricity in the air and then the sharp crispness of Moncler shop online a summer day being blown wide open as the winds rushed in. We threw open all the doors and windows. We found the classical radio station from two cheap north face jackets towns away and turned up the bass and cranked up the speakers. We let the wind blow in and churn our summer day around. We let the music we were only vaguely familiar moncler down jacket with roar through the house. And we twirled.

We twirled and we imagined that we were poets North face jackets sale and dancers and scientists and spring brides.<br /> Welcome to our website http://www.moncleronlines.net/specials.html.
