It is with tears in my eyes that I write this status update. Comrades and friends, I would like to inform you that international rights for Memoirs of a Born Free: Reflections on the Rainbow Nation have been sold to a United States based publishing company, Seven Stories Press. Part of the media statement as released this morning by my publisher, Jacana Media, reads as follows: Jacana Media is delighted to announce that international rights for Malaika wa Azania’s Memoirs of a Born Free have been sold to New York City-based Seven Stories Press. In making their offer, Dan Simon, publisher at Seven Stories Press, compared Malaika to “a young Steve Biko, someone I have long revered for the directness and clarity and power of his vision and his words.” The Press plans to publish in the US in 2015, and will be seeking further international publishing opportunities in the new year for the young firebrand. Jacana Media congratulate Malaika on this publishing coup... This is my gift to my mother, Dipuo Mahlatsi, and to the people of my beautiful continent, on whose shoulders I continue to stand. Thank you!
