Dispatches from the Diaspora: From Nelson Mandela to Black Lives Matter

0/5 ( ratings)

“Younge’s writing is chilling, urgent and profound.” —The Root

“An outstanding journalist and chronicler of the African diaspora.” —Bernardine Evaristo, Booker Prize-winning author of Girl, Woman, Other

Dispatches from the Diaspora brings together the vibrant journalism of one of the leading Black voices spanning the Atlantic, providing a must-read for anyone interested in the way we understand contemporary issues of race and identity.

Between following Nelson Mandela during his first election campaign in South Africa and reflecting on a journey to Barbados to bury his mother, Gary Younge here interviews major figures including Angela Davis, Maya Angelou, Desmond Tutu, and the Grime artist Stormzy. He reports from New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina, joins revelers on Chicago’s South Side for the evening of Barack Obama’s first presidential victory, files from Ferguson as the Black Lives Matter movement starts to make waves around the world, and visits Zimbabwe during the country’s descent into crisis.

Covering three decades of unparalleled reporting throughout the Black diaspora, this catalog of electrifying yet nuanced dispatches puts readers at the heart of the action, guiding them through world-shaking events, introducing them at first-hand to key players, and solidifying Younge’s standing as one of the most important political journalists of his generation.
