- Scope and content:
-
This addition to the collection contains personal and professional papers, including those relating to her books In My Place and New News Out of Africa. The addition further documents her career in journalism with NPR, CNN, and the New York Times, and others. Documents include correspondence, Hunter-Gault's article drafts and notes, and travel itineraries.
In her coverage of African politics, Hunter-Gault paid particular attention to developments in post-apartheid South Africa and the activities of the African National Congress throughout the mid-1990s. Her reporting touches on negotiations with the government of F. W. de Klerk, and the presidency of Nelson Mandela. Her reporting also includes coverage of the mid-1990s economic decline in Zimbabwe and the presidency of Robert Mugabe, human rights violations in Sudan, and the Somali civil war. Although the focus of her coverage of African politics focused on South Africa, Hunter-Gault also covered politics in Ivory Coast, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Malawi, and Mozambique.
