The University of Rochester Press recently released Narrating war and peace in Africa,
an edited volume on representations of peace and war in Africa with an
emphasis on countering stereotypes about Africa. I have a chapter in
this book in the Struggles for Independence section in which I analysis
newspaper coverage of the Mau Mau Movement, a militant independence
movement in Kenya. I haven't received my copy of the book yet, but I did
attend the conference from which this book was born, and I have to say
it was a great conference with fascinating papers from scholars in a
variety of disciplines, including History, English, and Communications,
to name a few. The book is available on Amazon, an abstract for my chapter can be found here, and the Google Books preview has my whole chapter (below). | ![]() |
