A writer and leftist culture critic, Charles Tonderai Mudede was born in Zimbabwe on February 8 1969. He is presently the Associate Editor for the Seattle-based weekly The Stranger. The column he writes in that paper, "Police Beat," was turned into a film of the same name in 2004. Police Beat the movie was selected for competition at Sundance 2005. In 2003, Mudede published a short book called Last Seen with Diana George. Mudede's work has appeared in the New York Times, The Village Voice, The LA Weekly, and C Theory.

His writing style is rather obtuse, and no matter what the subject of the article is, it is bound to revolve around some deep philosophical point, and will quote Hegel or another German philosopher. The point he comes to is often bleak, and meant to reinforce Mudede's own viewpoint that humanity's desires are ridiculous. If the article does not revolve around exposing the banality or inanity of life, it may revolve around Mudede's Marxist political views.
