About meI'm an office monkey, and I do international things. I just finished my M.A. in international peace and conflict resolution, with a specialization in peacebuilding in sub-Saharan Africa. My interests include peacekeeping operations, transitional justice, reconciliation, post-conflict reconstruction, corruption, and human rights, all with an Africa focus. I dabble in studies of the UN and the work and reform thereof. I'm also a recovering history major, into the American Civil War, Cold War diplomatic relations and also local history of various places I've lived.
About my libraryMost of my stuff is related to history and international relations, as well as the fiction I've picked up.

I recently joined the All Books Africa Group. As a publisher who has just released a novel about the Angolan Civil War, I thought it might be worth bringing to your attention. Ondjaki's Good morning Comrades has just been released (indeed, i'm not sure amazon has changed it status yet). Ondjaki is a Lusophone writer of international reputation, and our edition of Good morning Comrades introduces him to an English speaking audience for the first time. It will not be the last: Aflame Books in the UK is set to release his fable The Whistler, and I know New Directions is also looking at publishing something by him soon. We expect he will become one of the most celebrated African novelists of his generation.
Anyway, if you would like further information on Comrades, you can chcekc out our website at www.biblioasis.com. It is also available online on amazon and elsewhere, and available through any good bookstore.
Thansk for your time, and I do hope that this was not too intrusive. (We're a small literary press based in Canada, and we're just trying to do whatever we can to let potential readers know about the book.
Best wishes,
Dan Wells
