Washington, DC Author Ismail Dramundru Ali Published Diary of an African Fanatic

By: Jan. 14, 2011

Diary of an African Fanatic, a new book by Ismail Dramundru Ali, has been released by RoseDog Books.
Diary of an African Fanatic is a submission of the daily challenges and perils the African endures on a daily basis. From the quietness of rural African villages to the roaring madness of the bustling metropolis of the west, the life and condition of the African is examined with defiant scrutiny.

It is Ismail Dramundru Ali's ardent attempt to present the African view to the world and present ideas and thoughts to make it easier for Africans to grapple with the daily issues that engulf their lives.

The message of hope, perseverance, and resilience is imported into this work to make a case for an African renewal. This book is a triumphant call for Africans to embrace a spirituality that is rooted in its history, confident of the fact that the eternal belongs to all.

In 1979, the Ugandan government was toppled and like millions of Ugandans, Ali had to flee the country because of the ensuing conflict. Ali found himself in exile and eventually lived in Pakistan for most of his childhood.

Ali returned to Uganda and continued his education, finishing the advanced level certificate. He traveled to Malaysia and obtained a bachelor's degree in communications with a minor in Islamic studies. In 1999, Ali returned to Uganda and worked as a freelance journalist before moving to America to pursue a master's degree. He currently resides in Washington, D.C.

Diary of an African Fanatic is a 106-page paperback with a retail price of $13.00. The ISBN is 978-1-4349-8114-1. It was published by RoseDog Books of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
