Mandela's  Other Children:
The Diary of an African  Journalist
by Baba  Jallow
ISBN13:  978-1-60047-098-1
ISBN10:  1-60047-098-X
Paperback (6x9): 108  Pgs.


In  Mandela’s Other Children, Baba Jallow invokes the intriguing  concept of 
a Pan-African struggle against oppression. As he narrates his  personal 
ordeals as a journalist working in an oppressive “shadow state”  since 1994, Baba 
skillfully comments on some complex issues related to the  African condition 
that are not readily obvious to the non-African  observer. The pages of this 
book are littered with chilling accounts of  how “orders from above” lead to 
arbitrary arrests and detentions,  nocturnal arson attacks on media houses, the 
promulgation of unjust laws,  the murder of prominent citizens, the Soweto-like 
massacre of school  children holding a peaceful demonstration, and the 
forcible closure of  radio stations and newspapers critical of the government. But 
Mandela’s  Other Children is also a story of heroic resistance, stubborn  
defiance, and a steely determination to assert and preserve endangered  
sovereignties by threatened social entities. This is a truly worthy  addition to the 
growing corpus of works on the postcolony. Students of  comparative journalism 
will also find much that is useful in these charged  pages.
