Mistaking Africa

Misconceptions and Inventions

Beschreibung

For many in the west, the mention of Africa immediately conjures up images of safaris, ferocious animals, sparsely dressed "tribesmen," and impenetrable jungles. Mistaking Africa looks at the historical evolution of this mind-set and examines the role that popular media plays in its creation.
