These links come from Chris Blattman's blog. The text is a satirical take on the way that Africa is written about and represented and the video is from the author,Binyavanga Wainaina, explaining why he wrote the piece. Its all very interesting.

This video and the related article were enlightening. They are a stark reminder that I need to provide my students with a variety of exposures to life in different countries in Africa. Even though it happens every year, I still mentally shake my head when a student is surprised that there are large, modern cities, etc. there.
