Achat:

I know what you mean. I’ve seen exactly the same transformation.

We watched “Hotel Rwanda” last night and, after we both wiped away the tears, had a conversation about Africa, warring factions (is it ethnic? or just plain old power struggle?), genocide, the dilemma faced by the West, etc. complete with the coffee table world atlas spread out on the kitchen table at midnight.

D and several friends are signed up for Tim Burke’s “Images of Africa” class and I know they are looking forward to it. They’ve already been talking about the “trope” assigment.
