Thousand Oaks, Calif.: Pine Forge Press, c2006
The Second Edition of The Business of Media: Corporate Media and the Public Interest provides students with the critical, yet careful, analysis of the rapidly changing media industry that they need to get behind the headlines and understand our increasingly media-saturated society.

The Second Edition has been revised and updated to include analysis of the media business in the early years of the 21st century." "The Business of Media offers clear, concise, jargon-free writing accessible to all students and professionals, with or without a background in economics.

Empowering visions: the politics of representation in Hindu nationalism/ Brosius, Christiane
London: Anthem, 2005
This new study looks at the crucial role played by audiovisual media in Hindu cultural nationalism. The application of new media technology in the context of the construction of 'Indianness' by Hindutva's main political wing, the Bharatiya Janata Party (Party of the Indian People, BJP), is a fascinating example of in-house indoctrination and emotive mobilization that demands critical attention." "At a time when public attention is focused on transnational, and mostly Islamicist, movements, Empowering Visions argues that both transnationalism and nationalism have to be treated with equal attention, and to some extent ought to be seen as intertwined processes. This book is unique in its presentation and discussion of profound ethnographic data through interviews with a variety of spokesmen for the Hindutva movement. It also offers an in-depth analysis of visual and audiovisual material that has so far been unrecognized and unexplored in scholarly works."--BOOK JACKET

Excelsior, you fathead!: the art and enigma of Jean Shepherd/ Bergmann, Eugene B.
New York: Applause Theatre & Cinema Books; Milwaukee, WI: Sales & distribution, North America, Hal Leonard Corp., c2005
Jean Shepherd (1921-1999), master humorist, is possibly most widely known for his creation A Christmas Story, the popular movie about the child who wants a BB gun for Christmas and nearly shoots his eye out. What else did Shepherd do? He is considered by many to be the Mark Twain and James Thurber of his day. For many thousands of fans, for decades, "Shep" talked on the radio late at night, keeping them up way past their bedtimes. He entertained without a script, improvising like a jazz musician, on any and every subject you can imagine. He invented and remains the master of talk radio." "Through interviews with his friends, coworkers, and creative associates, such as musician David Amram, cartoonist and playwright Jules Feiffer, publisher and broadcaster Paul Krassner, Hugh Hefner, and Norman Mailer, this book explains a complex and unique genius of our time."--BOOK JACKET

Feet to the fire: the media after 9/11: top journalists speak out/
Amherst, N.Y.: Prometheus Books, 2005
Focusing on the post-9/11 period, this masterful collection beginning with a pull-no-punches interview with ABC: News veteran Ted Koppel and ending with a scaring phone interview with Knight Ridder's Tom Lasserter from Baghdad unveils a journalistic environment that rivals any long-running soap opera on TV. Filled with astonishing personal stories, conflict, and drama, Feet to the Fire gives readers the rare opportunity to walk a mile in the shoes of powerful journalists and news executives and experience their highly stressful environments." "With each new and revealing interview, Borjesson gathers devastating details from national security and intelligence reporters, White House journalists, Middle East experts, war correspondents, and others. Like pieces of a terrible puzzle, these conversations combine to provide a hair-raising view of the mechanisms by which the truth has been manufactured post 9/11. The assembled puzzle also shows how ordinary Americans have played key roles along with the press and the government in perpetuating the deception. Feet to the Fire is an unprecedented and deeply disturbing insider's report on how diverse factious within our society have collaborated and clashed to bring about profound change."--BOOK JACKET

The first lady of Hollywood: a biography of Louella Parsons/ Barbas, Samantha
Berkeley: University of California Press, c2005
Hollywood celebrities feared her. William Randolph Hearst adored her. Between 1915 and 1960, Louella Parsons was America's premier movie gossip columnist and her heyday commanded a following of more than forty million readers. This first full-length biography of Parsons tells the story of her reign over Hollywood during the studio era, her lifelong alliance with her employer, William Randolph Hearst, and her complex and turbulent relationships with such noted stars, directors, and studio executives as Orson Welles, Joan Crawford, Louis B. Mayer, Ronald Reagan, and Frank Sinatra - as well as her rival columnists Hedda Hopper and Walter Winchell. Loved by fans for her "just folks," small-town image, Parsons became notorious within the film industry for her involvement in the suppression of the 1941 film Citizen Kane and her use of blackmail in service of Hearst's political and personal agendas. As she traces Parsons's life and career, Samantha Barbas situates Parson's experiences within the broader trajectory of Hollywood history, charting the rise of the star system and the complex interactions of publicity, journalism, and movie-making. The First Lady of Hollywood is both a chronicle of one of the most powerful women in American journalism and film and a penetrating analysis of celebrity culture and Hollywood power politics."--BOOK JACKET

Beginning with revolution in Prague, ending with Jonny Wilkinson's World Cup-winning kick, this collection of images from some of the world's leading photographers documents a world in constant change." "Five Thousand Days chronicles the pinnacles of success and achievement, as well as the depths of human suffering and misery. Many images are iconic, as familiar to the reader as the event itself; others, filed too late for printing deadlines, cropped, or lost in the churning news process, are seen in full for the first time." "Five Thousand Days is a fifteen-year journey over the Millenium through the eyes of the finest image-makers of the period."--BOOK JACKET

Governing Soviet journalism: the press and the socialist person after Stalin/ Wolfe, Thomas C.
Bloomington: Indiana University Press, c2005
Most studies of the Soviet press approach its history in terms of propaganda or ideology. Thomas C. Wolfe's focus, by contrast, is on the effort to imagine a different kind of person and polity. Framing his discussion in terms of Foucault's concept of governmentality, he explores the relationship between the idea of the socialist person and everyday journalistic representation. The importance of this relationship was articulated during the Krushchev period in the work of Aleksei Adzhubei and Anatolii Agranovskii, who, each in his own way, defined a progressive vision of journalism. Wolfe goes on to describe the fate of this conviction from Brezhnev to Gorbachev to Yeltsin. In the 1990s, with the appearance of the boulevard or tabloid press, new strategies of governing and new discourses of self-understanding emerged. Throughout this thought-provoking study, the Soviet press is viewed both in historical perspective and in the context of the lives of journalists who experienced important transformations of their work during this period."--BOOK JACKET

Henry R. Luce, Time, and the American crusade in Asia/ Herzstein, Robert Edwin
Cambridge, UK; New York: Cambridge University Press, 2005
Henry Robinson Luce (1898-1967) founded Time, Life, Fortune, and Sports Illustrated. Born in China to missionary parents, Luce was a kind of lay preacher, eager to mold the American mind and advance his ideological program of intervention, capitalism, democracy (when appropriate), and Christian activism. The most celebrated and influential editor of his day, Luce was also obsessed with the American mission in the world, and with China and East Asia. Luce tried to "sell" this mission to a sometimes reluctant public. A passionate anti-Communist interventionist, he also convinced Americans that the United States had perversely "lost" China to the Communists. A fervent advocate of the Vietnam intervention, Luce, the author of the "American Century," edited incoming correspondents' cables so that the magazines might conform to his ideas. For the first time, we see how Luce accomplished this. Using hitherto inaccessible or neglected sources, Robert E. Herzstein produces a gripping portrait of a great but tragic figure in American history."--BOOK JACKET

Investigated reporting: muckrakers, regulators, and the struggle over television documentary/ Raphael, Chad
Urbana: University of Illinois Press, c2005
Investigated Reporting is Chad Raphael's exploration of the relationship between journalism and regulation during American television's first sustained period of muck-raking, between 1960 and 1975. Offering new and important insights into the economic, political, and industrial forces that shaped documentaries such as Harvest of Shame, Hunger in America, and Banks and the Poor, Raphael puts the growth of investigative television documentary into its institutional, regulatory, and cultural context." "Those who see investigative reporting as a watchdog on government will be surprised to find that these controversial reports relied heavily on official sources for inspiration, information, and regulatory protection from muckraking's critics. Raphael's historical research draws on a variety of primary sources, including recently opened papers from the Nixon White House. Investigated Reporting exposes the complex play of influence through which investigative documentaries were both shaped and attacked by government officials, and highlights the troubling legacy for contemporary regulation of television news."--BOOK JACKET

Interspersing Carey's major essays with articles exploring his central themes and their importance, this collection provides a critical introduction to the work of this significant figure. In James Carey: A Critical Reader, sever scholars who have been influenced by him consider his work and how it has affected the development of media studies." "Carey has examined the roles the media and the academy have played in creating and maintaining a public sphere, as well as the ways technology helps or hinders that project. Carey's themes range from the strains on democracy and drawbacks of technology to the critique of journalism and the politics of academe."--BOOK JACKET

London; New York: Routledge, 2005
Media/Theory is an accessible yet challenging guide to ways of thinking about media and communications in modern life." "Shaun Moores connects the analysis of media and communications with key themes in contemporary social theory." "He insists that media studies are not simply about studying media. Rather, they require an understanding of how technologically mediated communication is bound up with wider processes in the modern world, from the reproduction of social life on an everyday basis to the reorganisation of social relations on a global scale." "Drawing on ideas from a range of disciplines in the humanities and social sciences, Media/Theory makes a distinctive contribution towards rethinking the shape and direction of media studies today."--BOOK JACKET

The moral media: how journalists reason about ethics/ Wilkins, Lee
Mahwah, N.J.: Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, 2005
At a time when journalists are coming under fire for their ethical choices, The Moral Media provides an in-depth analysis of journalistic decisions and the influences on them. Representing the first empirical exploration of this topic, this volume provides an overview of moral development for journalists and advertising practitioners, and compares thinking about ethics by these two groups with the thinking of other professionals. It addresses connections among various intellectual disciplines, between the academy and the profession of journalism, and among those who believe that what journalists do is essential." "In addition to making theoretical contributions about the role of visual information on moral thinking, Wilkins and Coleman explore the implications of these findings for the academy - both teachers and scholars - and for members of this influential profession. They provide readers with preliminary answers about ethical thinking in a professional environment, and this work thus serves as a foundation on which other scholars - and professionals who are concerned with quality of ethical decision-making in the media - can build. The Moral Media offers compelling, provocative, and potentially controversial insights to current and future journalists: scholars in journalism and mass communication: psychologists: and philosophers."--BOOK JACKET

My fathers' houses: memoir of a family/ Roberts, Steven V.
New York: William Morrow, c2005
As moving as Russell Baker's Growing Up and Calvin Trillin's Messages from My Father, My Fathers' Houses is the story of a town, a time, and a boy who would grow up to become a New York Times correspondent, television and radio personality, and bestselling author." "In this memoir, Steven V. Roberts tells the story of his grandparents, his parents, and his own life, vividly bringing a period, a place, and a remarkable family into focus. The period was the forties and fifties, when the children of immigrants were striving to become American in a booming postwar world. The place was one block in Bayonne, New Jersey, and the house that Roberts's grandfather, Harry Schanbam, built with his own hands, a warm and reassuring home, just across the Hudson River from "the city," where Roberts grew up surrounded by family and tales of the Old Country." "This personal journey starts in Russia, where the family business of writing and ideas began. A great-uncle became an editor of Pravda and two great-aunts were original members of the Bolshevik party. His other grandfather, Abraham Rogowsky, stole money to become a Zionist pioneer in Palestine and helped to build the second road in Tel Aviv before settling in America. Roberts returns his saga to Depression-era Bayonne, where his parents, living one block apart, penned love letters to each other before marrying in secret. His father, an author and publisher of children's books, and his uncle, a critic and short story writer, instilled in him a love for words and a determination to carry on the family legacy, a legacy he is now passing on to his own children and grandchildren."--BOOK JACKET

Edited by Texas journalists Wanda Cash and Ed Sterling, The News in Texas recounts the stories of courageous publishers who used their columns to challenge inequities and injustices. Essays discuss the challenges that faced the earliest Texas publishers of the nineteenth century and how women overcome the male-dominated newsrooms and executive offices. In the 1930s, Texas newspapers created the mania for the Texas Centennial and forever altered the image of the state. Humor, crime, business, entertainment, sports, controversy - all appear in this lively collection of accounts about the newspapers and the men and women who provided the news. The book also includes Texas Pulitzer Prize winners and information on the history of the Texas Press Association."--BOOK JACKET

NPR: the trials and triumphs of National Public Radio/ McCauley, Michael P.
New York: Columbia University Press, c2005
The people who shaped America's public-broadcasting system in the early 1970s believed that NPR should treat its listeners as citizens and not as consumers. NPR would offer programming that promoted empowerment and social change, appeal to the broad spectrum of U.S. society, and serve communities traditionally ignored by commercial broadcasting. This book tells the story of how NPR has tried to embody these ideals and the extent to which the network has reached its goals. Michael P. McCauley describes NPR's evolution from virtual obscurity when it was riddled with difficulties - political battles, unseasoned leadership, funding problems - to a first-rate broadcast organization." "McCauley's work draws on a wealth of primary sources, including dozens of interviews with people who have been central to the NPR story. He examines various internal debates about the direction of NPR and the content of its programming. McCauley also places the development of NPR within the historical context of the wider U.S. radio industry, the ideological and political conflicts of postwar America, and contemporary debates about the ways in which mass media can better serve the citizens of a democracy."--BOOK JACKET

The other war: Israelis, Palestinians, and the struggle for media supremacy/ Gutmann, Stephanie
San Francisco, Calif.: Encounter Books, c2005
Since its founding, Israel has become legendary for winning wars waged against it by much larger armies. But those were "conventional" conflicts where uniformed soldiers fought on clearly delineated fronts, using tanks, aircraft and artillery. Israel has not fared so well in the new wars of the twenty-first century, where key battles are fought on editorial pages and television screens, and especially on the internet, where photos from the combat zone can ricochet around the world minutes after being snapped." "To understand why Israel has floundered on this new battlefield, Stephanie Gutmann, who lived in the Middle East as a teenager, returned to Jerusalem and the West Bank during the second intifada to observe modern news-gathering up close. In The Other war she documents how regional political and military realities are dependent on a constantly shifting cast of international journalists on the prowl for "good pictures."" "Gutmann introduces us to key players in the daily battles for headline supremacy: the mercenary freelance photographers who hawk their bloodiest pictures to the highest bidder; the TV "parachuters" who drop in on the unfolding tragedy to get their "face time" before flying off to the next international hotspot; the Palestinian Authority spinmeisters; the politically connected, media-savvy "fixers" whose translation services are not typically neutral. We also meet some of those in the trenches, people like Daniel Seaman, beleaguered directer of Israel's Government Press Office; and Palestinian reporter Khaled Abu Toameh, who endeavors to do comprehensive reporting about a regime, the Palestinian Authority, that often silences critics brutally. Traveling into the disputed territories herself, Gutmann reconstructs the battle for Jenin, the death of the teenage martyr Mohammed al-Dura, and other climactic moments in the struggle for the world's hearts and minds. We learn from her insider's account that there is a reality in this region never touched by the international press corps, and that

Sleeping with Custer and the 7th Cavalry: an embedded reporter in Iraq/ Rodgers, Walter C.
Carbondale: Southern Illinois University Press, c2005
Under a full opalescent moon in the spring of 2003, CNN correspondent Walter C. Rodgers and three colleagues climbed into an unarmored Humvee loaded with satellite transmission equipment and fell into column formation with the M1A1 Abrams battle tanks and Bradley fighting vehicles of Apache Troop, 3rd Squadron, of the storied 7th Cavalry and crossed the Line of Departure between Kuwait and Iraq. Sleeping with Custer and the 7th Cavalry: An Embedded Reporter in Iraq is Rodgers's account of the fight from the Kuwaiti border to the Iraqi capital of Baghdad." "Rodgers was embedded with the "tip of the tip of the spear," the armored reconnaissance unit tasked with clearing the way for the invasion of Iraq. For the next three weeks, Rodgers - a seasoned combat correspondent who has covered armed conflicts in the West Bank, along the "Green Line" in Lebanon, and in Sarajevo, Azerbaijan, and Afghanistan - was a first-person witness to the opening campaign of the most significant war America has embarked upon since Vietnam - and, like Vietnam, it will continue to shape and define American history and foreign policy in the twenty-first century." "Rodgers and his journalistic colleagues in Operation Iraqi Freedom became pioneers in the process of embedding, the placing of journalists who can transmit video reports in real time under combat conditions with no censoring authority to block their reporting. This technology, which may well be outlawed by the Department of Defense in future conflicts, enabled CNN viewers to experience the invasion from "Embed U" - the prewar school where embedded journalists learned to scramble into MOPP suits in the event of attack by chemical or biological weapons - to a fierce night ambush on a narrow dirt road south of the Euphrates River, to the sight of torn and burning corpses of Iraqi soldiers strewn around their flaming Soviet T-72 tank on Iraq Route One at the edge of Baghdad." "During this journey into war, Rodgers and his crew embraced the dangers, the numbing fatigue, and the momen

Raised from age eight to seventeen in a tough, all-white Methodist orphanage, Fleming learned to survive bullying and to brawl among a pack of boys with nicknames like Snot-Eye, Cootie Roach, and Fatty Clark. He learned how to plow behind a mule, milk cows, hoe vegetables, and to adhere to the orphanage's strict code of conduct. Largely isolated from the world around him until he was introduced to racism and sex during his first newspaper job in the small town of Wilson, North Carolina, Fleming went on to become Newsweek magazine's chief civil rights reporter, covering all of the South's hot spots throughout the 1960s. He reported on James Meredith's enrollment at the University of Mississippi, Bull Connor's suppression of the 1963 Birmingham marches with fire hoses and dogs, the Birmingham church bombings, Alabama Governor George Wallace's schoolhouse door stand in Tuscaloosa, KKK rallies, the violence in Selma, the assassination of Medgar Evers, and the murders of three civil rights workers in Philadelphia, Mississippi. Fleming was beaten and almost killed on the streets of Watts, California, and was present when Martin Luther King, Jr. was laid to rest in Atlanta, Georgia." "In Son of the Rough South, Fleming writes about how his past as a bullied orphan made him an impassioned civil rights reporter, and about how the demons of that same past nearly consumed him once that enormous story left many of its headlines behind."--BOOK JACKET

Switching channels: organization and change in TV broadcasting/ Caves, Richard E.
Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University Press, 2005
In the past twenty-five years, the expansion of cable and satellite systems has transformed television. Richard Caves examines the economics of this phenomenon - and the nature and logic of the broadcast networks' response to the incursion of cable TV, especially the shift to inexpensive unscripted game and "reality" shows and "news" magazines. An explanation of these changes, Caves argues, requires an understanding of two very different sectors: the "creative industry," which produces programs; and the commercial channels, which bring them to viewers. His book shows how distributors' judgment of profitability determines the quality and character of the programs the creative industry produces."--BOOK JACKET

Taking journalism seriously: news and the academy/ Zelizer, Barbie
Thousand Oaks, Calif.: Sage, c2004
In Taking Journalism Seriously: News and the Academy, author Barbie Zelizer discusses questions about the viability of the field of journalism scholarship and examines journalism as a discipline, a profession, a practice, and a cultural phenomenon." "Taking Journalism Seriously argues that scholars have remained too entrenched within their own disciplinary areas resulting in isolated bodies of scholarship. This is the first book to critically survey journalism scholarship in one volume and organize it by disparate fields. The book reviews existing journalism research in such diverse fields as sociology, history, language studies, political science, and cultural analysis and dissects the most prevalent and understated research in each discipline." "The author provides a critical mapping of the field of journalism studies and encourages academics to look at journalism from various disciplinary perspectives. Taking Journalism Seriously advocates a realignment of the ways in which journalism has traditionally been conceptualized and urges scholars to think anew about what journalism is as well as reflect on why they see it as they do." "Taking Journalism Seriously is designed for undergraduate and graduate students in advanced courses on Journalism and Journalism Studies. It will also be of interest to scholars, academics, and researchers in the fields of Journalism, Communication, Media Studies, Sociology, and Cultural Studies."--BOOK JACKET

Talking back-- to presidents, dictators, and assorted scoundrels/ Mitchell, Andrea
New York: Viking, 2005
Andrea Mitchell started her career as the quintessential girl reporter and quickly became one of the first women in broadcast news. Time and again, Mitchell has proven herself by taking on the tough assignments - starting with her first posting abroad in Guyana after the previous NBC correspondent had been murdered by Jim Jones's henchmen. She has had unique access to the halls of power and here gives us her unvarnished insights into every president from Jimmy Carter to George W. Bush - and the men and women who surround them." "Andrea Mitchell is always the one with the scoop. As she writes in Talking Back, she was the one whose questioning prompted Hillary Clinton to say she didn't want to stay home "and bake cookies," who revealed that Ronald Reagan's napping caused a rescheduling of the space shuttle's reentry into the atmosphere, who has been present at every major international event from the fall of the Berlin Wall to Yasser Arafat's funeral to Condoleezza Rice's first whirlwind trip as secretary of state. She is known as the one to beat to the story, whether it's a series of exclusive interviews with Fidel Castro or breaking the news that John Kerry had picked John Edwards as his running mate." "Mitchell's behind-the-scenes memoir is a must-read for anyone interested in politics and current affairs. It will also fascinate anyone looking for an insider's perspective on the dramatic changes in television news, from one of the pioneering women in a traditionally all-male profession."--BOOK JACKET

Teenage hipster in the modern world from the birth of punk to the land of Bush: thirty years of millenial journalism/ Jacobson, Mark
New York: Black Cat, c2005
In the pages of The Village Voice, Rolling Stone, Esquire, New York, Maxim, and GQ, Mark Jacobson has proven himself one of New York City's finest journalistic provocateurs. Now he collects the best of his years on the beat in Teenage Hipster in the Modern World. Jacobson has been witness to a decidedly different sort of history. His "beats" range far and wide, delving into the realms of politics, sports, and celebrity in pieces on such luminaries as Bob Dylan, Julius Erving, Chuck Berry, Pam Grier (in her Scream, Blacula, Scream days), and many others. But for Jacobson, New York City, and urban living in general, has always been his muse, from the beginnings of punk rock in the time of "pregentrification" to the heart-wrenching events of 9/11."--BOOK JACKET

Television in the antenna age: a concise history/ Marc, David
Malden, MA: Blackwell, 2005
Television in the Antenna Age is an overview of the medium's history and development in the United States. Integrating three major concerns - television as technology, industry, and art - the book introduces the complex, and often overlooked story of television and its impact on American life. It ends with a provocative mediation on the effect since the 1980s of competing technologies, the consolidation of media ownership, and the emerging aesthetics of twenty-first-century programming."--BOOK JACKET

True story: murder, memoir, mea culpa/ Finkel, Michael
New York: HarperCollins, c2005
The story begins in February of 2002, when a reporter in Oregon contacts New York Times Magazine writer Michael Finkel with a startling piece of news. A young, highly intelligent man named Christian Longo, on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list for killing his entire family, has recently been captured in Mexico, where he'd taken on a new identity - Michael Finkel of the New York Times." "The next day, on page A-3 of the Times, comes another bit of troubling news: a note, written by the paper's editors, explaining that Finkel has falsified parts of an investigative article and has been fired. This unlikely confluence sets the stage for a bizarre and intense relationship. After Longo's arrest, the only journalist the accused murderer will speak with is the real Michael Finkel. And as the months until Longo's trial tick away, the two men talk for dozens of hours on the telephone, meet in the jailhouse visiting room, and exchange nearly a thousand pages of handwritten letters." "With Longo insisting he can prove his innocence, Finkel strives to uncover what really happened to Longo's family, and his quest becomes less a reporting job than a psychological cat-and-mouse game - sometimes redemptively honest, other times slyly manipulative. Finkel's pursuit pays off only at the end, when Longo, after a lifetime of deception, finally says what he wouldn't even admit in court - the whole, true story. Or so it seems."--BOOK JACKET

Where we have hope: a memoir of Zimbabwe/ Meldrum, Andrew
New York: Atlantic Monthly Press, 2005
Where We Have Hope is the memoir of a young American journalist who arrived in a Zimbabwe flush with new independence, only to be illegally expelled twenty years later as an enemy of the state. When American-born journalist Andrew Meldrum arrived in Harare in 1980, he planned to stay for only three years - but he quickly fell in love with the country and its people. Newly independent from Britain, Zimbabwe was infused with the optimism of new nation-building, but over the twenty years he lived there, Meldrum watched as President Robert Mugabe gradually consolidated power and the government slowly evolved into violent despotism. In May 2003, Meldrum was seized and expelled, forced to leave the country for writing "bad things" about Mugabe's regime." "In Where We Have Hope, Meldrum describes what it meant to live through this period of hope and tragedy: how hundreds of people lined up to tell him of horrific massacres; how he once hid from Mugabe's thugs in a cupboard; how Mugabe grabbed him as he challenged him about human rights; how he was harassed, arrested, imprisoned, and tried. Ultimately, however, this is a story of the triumph of hope - of doctors, teachers, journalists, and lawyers who refuse to accept the abuses of Mugabe's rule."--BOOK JACKET
