Polish journalist and foreign correspondent for the Polish Press Agency (PAP); author of reportage books including Shah-in-Shah, Ebano, and Imperium (1932–2007).

Worked as a foreign correspondent for PAP; reported from Africa, Iran and other non-aligned/Third World contexts; known for blending journalistic reporting with literary and anthropological observation.

DeBaser hosts two positive reviews of Ryszard Kapuscinski, highlighting his reportage on Iran (Shah-in-Shah) and post-colonial Africa (Ebano). Reviews emphasize his vivid, anthropological prose and his refusal of clichés. Kapuscinski is presented as a Polish foreign correspondent for PAP whose books blend journalism and literary observation.

For:Readers of literary reportage, students of post-colonial history, journalism enthusiasts, and those interested in Iran and African post-colonial studies.

 

An excellent volume of journalistic anthropology, written by an author never exhausted in his countless journeys around the "other" world, a lover of the real and the inscrutable, distant from the usual social conventions and the reductionism of bad information, unfortunately still predominant in mass media.

Bitter but truthful, rich and never tiring to read, raw yet intense, Ebony is probably one of the best historical-anthropological analyses in novel form of Africa written by a journalist-reporter, specifically sent to the heart of darkness of the Black Continent to record its most hidden and secret details.
