Media-Newswire.com – Authors Discuss “Civil War And Violence In Africa’ At Washington College on Wednesday, October 7, at 7 p.m.
(Media-Newswire.com) – CHESTERTOWN – Two authors whose hard-hitting journalism has shed light on the African scene will convene for a panel discussion, “Civil War and Violence in Africa,” at Washington College’s Litrenta Lecture Hall on Wednesday, October 7, at 7 p.m.
The talk features Dr. Howard French, author of A Continent for the Taking: The Tragedy and Hope of Africa, and Bill Berkeley, author of The Graves Are Not Yet Full: Race, Tribe, and Power in the Heart of Africa.
The event is sponsored by the Goldstein Program in Public Affairs.
French is a former global-affairs columnist for The International Herald Tribune; former New York Times bureau chief for Central America and the Caribbean, West Africa, Japan, the Koreas and Shanghai; and a former Washington Post freelance reporter covering West Africa.
In its review of French’s A Continent for the Taking, Publishers Weekly enthused, “His strength as a reporter is evident as he takes the reader across the continent, recounting in vivid detail the genocide in Rwanda and the AIDS and Ebola outbreaks. His prose is evocative without being melodramatic in describing the suffering he saw.”
