AfricaFocus Bulletin
This is the first AfricaFocus Bulletin since January. Towards the end of that
month, major issues with my home office computer systems crippled the
interface which I normally use to publish the Bulletin, and catching up on a
variety of medical issues also limited what I could do. Nothing life
threatening, but lots of doctor appointments.
All is not totally back to normal, and events in the nation and world are still distracting. But I wanted to provide at least a few updates for your consideration.
Much of what I was able to do during this period was concentrated on the AfricaFocus Bookshop on Bookshop.org. See https://bookshop.org/shop/africafocus, as well as several booklists highlighted below. ++++++++++++++++++++++end editor's note+++++++++++++++++ In December 2021, the month after the UN Climate Conference concluded in Glasgow, Al Jazeera featured Kumi Naidoo and Winona LaDuke in two inspiring conversations in London. Naidoo and LaDuke focused on the need and the potential for grassroots activists to step up when governments are failing to address the crisis. The seven days beginning with the anniversary of the Sharpeville Massacre in South Africa on March 21, 1960 end Sunday with the anniversary of the Battle of Horseshoe Bend on March 27, 1814, in which future president Andrew Jackson led his troops against the Creek nation in what is now Alabama. These dates make this a very appropriate time to be reminded of the central role of anti-racist and indigenous activists in global struggles for climate justice. In each case, however, they were mowed down mercilessly by superior firepower.
