Rebecca Hamilton is a New Zealand born journalist who is a Special Correspondent on Sudan for The Washington Post. Hamilton compiled her multi-year investigation on the impact of advocacy on Darfur policy in Fighting for Darfur: Public Action and the Struggle to Stop Genocide, which was published by Palgrave Macmillan in January 2011. Her writing has also been published in a range of other outlets including Foreign Affairs, Foreign Policy, The New Republic, Newsweek and The International Herald Tribune. Hamilton's project Sudan In Transition covers the cultural, political, economic and legal challenges that Sudan faced before the vote for Southern independence and what the future will hold once the likely partition of the country becomes official.
