How

Pambazuka News is the authoritative Pan-African electronic weekly newsletter for social justice in Africa and the global South providing cutting edge commentary and in-depth analysis on the struggle for freedom and justice. It is produced weekly by a community of 2,800 citizens and organisations – academics, policy makers, social activists, women’s organisations, civil society organisations, writers, artists, poets, bloggers, and commentators – who together produce insightful, sharp and thoughtful analyses. With 660,000 readers it is one of the largest, most innovative and influential web forums for social justice in Africa. It is available by email as well as on the internet in English, French and Portuguese.

Pambazuka Press grew out of Pambazuka News in 2005 as a way of increasing access to its huge resource of original, radical writing. A unique progressive African publisher, Pambazuka Press publishes activists and grassroots thinkers, whose contributions to the struggle against oppression would be unlikely to be published elsewhere. It also publishes renowned academics and intellectuals. The books offer authors an opportunity to write in more depth, or from a longer perspective, than is possible in a topical weekly newsletter.
