Charlayne Hunter-Gault, one of the best-known and most award-winning journalists in the United States, has focused her new book on Africa.  In “New News Out of Africa”, she explores how widespread AIDS, constant internal strife and shaky economies form the media-driven image of Africa that many Americans possess.  The author challenges facile assumptions that Africa is a dark, hopeless continent ravaged by the "four D's": death, disaster, disease and despair.  The book is divided into three sections: an analysis of South Africa’s apartheid; the powerful continent-wide transition from colonialism to democratic reform; and how journalists can more accurately report an emerging "African Renaissance". “New News Out of Africa” is a skillful blend of memoir, reportage and political analysis.  Bid on this autographed copy of Hunter-Gault’s phenomenal work, today!
