Now I'm a Believer

The Dave-Eggers affiliated mag The Believer has done some good features on Africa recently. Last month, they ran an interview with Chris Abani, author of Graceland. This month, there's a fascinating first-person history from Dawit Giorgis, the former international spokesman for the Ethiopian Marxist dictatorship known as the Derg. And Eggers continues his oral history of a Sudanese "lost boy." None of it's online (The Beliver is so quaintly old-fashioned, you know), so look for it at your local bookseller.
