Dara Janeković, one of the few Yugoslav women correspondents reporting from Asia and Africa. The French paramilitary OAS tried to assassinate her because of her reporting on the Algerian War. She interviewed a range of prominent politicians, from Ahmed Ben Bella to Indira Gandhi.

My favorite archival find when writing 'Nonaligned Imagination' was a report by Petar Guberina about the 1959 Congress of Black Writers and Artists in Rome, which he attended as a Yugoslav observer. He discusses a controversial speech by a Dr Omar, Fanon’s code name at several conferences.
