Winter 2017 03 CULTURE. What’s happening in the world of culture, family? Here is a compilation of five things to read, watch and listen to as the nights draw in. DARE NOT LINGER: THE PRESIDENTIAL YEARS NELSON MANDELA AND MANDLA LANGA The sequel to Nelson Mandela’s highly acclaimed autobiography, Long Walk to Freedom, was released in October. Entitled Dare Not Linger, the book looks at the five years that Mr Mandela was president of South Africa. Mr Mandela was the first democratically elected president of South Africa in 1994 following the fall of apartheid. The book was handwritten by Mr Mandela, but had to be completed by South African author Mandla Langa. This was due to Mr Mandela’s old age and failing health prior to his death. The title of the book is taken from the final sentence of Long Walk to Freedom: ‘With freedom comes responsibilities, and I dare not linger, for my long walk is not ended.’ Mr Mandela’s widow, Graca Machel, wrote the prologue. We can’t wait to get our hands on it. CHRISTMAS PARTY WITH DJOUNA MUMBAFU FRIDAY 15 DECEMBER, ROPETACKLE ARTS CENTRE, SHOREHAM-BY-SEA, WEST SUSSEX The former lead vocalist for the great Pepe Kalle and Empire Bakuba brings a nine-piece band, Orchestra Big One, to Shoreham-by-Sea for a Christmas party.

Everyone is advised to wear their dancing shoes to the show. 04 Winter 2017 I AM NOT A WITCH BARBER SHOP CHRONICLES DIRECTOR, 20 NOVEMBER, NATIONAL THEATRE RUNGANO NYONI Featuring a stellar cast, this is one not to miss.

Despite the heavy subject, the film is packed with humour and doesn’t hold back for fear of being politically incorrect. The British Film Institute labelled it ‘the most dazzling British debut feature of 2017’. The film is about a nine-year-old girl, Shula. After a minor incident in her village, she is exiled to a ADEKUNLE GOLD AND THE 79TH ELEMENT travelling witch camp where 29 JUNE 2018, INDIGO AT THE O2, LONDON she is told that if she tries Tickets are already on sale for the Nigerian hit-maker’s show to escape she will be scheduled for next year at The O2, London.

    ERA BELL THOMPSON: REFLECTIONS IN THE MIRROR OBSERVATIONS OF AN AMERICAN DAUGHTER ON THE AMERICAN SOUTH AND THE AFRICAN CONGO BY KARENBETH G. ZACHARIAS Submitted to the graduate degree program in History and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. ________________________________________ Co-Chairperson Dr. Sheyda Jahanbani ________________________________________ Co-Chairperson Dr. Shawn Alexander _______________________________________ Dr. Victor Bailey _______________________________________ Dr. Jeffrey Moran _______________________________________ Prof. Elinor Schroeder Date Defended: 6 December 2012 i The Dissertation Committee for Karenbeth G. Zacharias certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: ERA BELL THOMPSON: REFLECTIONS IN THE MIRROR OBSERVATIONS OF AN AMERICAN DAUGHTER ON THE AMERICAN SOUTH AND THE AFRICAN CONGO ___________________________________ Co-Chairperson Dr. Sheyda Jahanbani _________________________________________ Co-Chairperson Dr. Shawn Alexander Dated approved: 6 December 2012 ii Abstract This dissertation asks how author and journalist Era Bell Thompson understood and constructed her racial identity against the historical context of the connections between the American South and the Congo. Thompson’s unique childhood on the Great Plains of North Dakota and her long-time residence in Chicago offer a new perspective on race and history outside the American South or European colonialism. Using Thompson’s autobiography, American Daughter, and her African travelogue, Africa, Land of My Fathers, the dissertation uses her writing as both a lens and a mirror. African American newspapers and periodicals, particularly The Chicago Defender, are important to the project as many of Thompson’s early ideas about the American South germinated from the paper’s front page headlines.
