The Mwalimu's Reader
In a postcolonial context where journalists are required to COVER and not to UNCOVER stories; in a totalitarian propagandist context where praise-singing is the validated form of journalism; in a society where the profession of journalism has been adulterated by dim-witted hoodwink, here comes a collection of journalistic essays in which Mwalimu Johnnie MacViban shows his continual effort to take bold steps against the tides. For those who are familiar with his personal story, briefly narrated in some part of this work, the price for such audacious crossing of the lines of press censorship has been moments behind prison bars. Yet, the Mwalimu believes in a philosophy that censorship begins with the journalist's own self-censorship. When the journalist is unable to critically analyze a situation, or objectively take a 'right' position or speak out bitter truths in the face of the perpetrators of evil, he/she turns to praise-singing journalism. For, as he says, in journalism "he who does not dare does not win" (1). The Mwalimu dared, and won without leaving the comfort of his country for self-exile as has been the case with most of his 'stubborn' pals. Dr. Oscar Labang
Twilight of Crooks
The year is 1977. Jason Makelekele treads where angels fear to tread as he investigates the murder of an oil tycoon for his column. During a trip to Bonn, Germany, he is disavowed by his country and becomes a stateless person. While he wonders if he will ever see the family and friends he has left behind, Cold War Germany is historically charged with what will be remembered as the German Autumn-a set of events associated with kidnappings by the Red Army Faction. Midway between neo-noir, political novel and postmodern romp, Twilight of Crooks takes liberties with history, changing names and events such that the line between history and alternative history becomes blurred.
