View commentWell I am a Winterson fan anyway: her novels are great and the issues she tackles are different. I love her style and she is very unassuming when you actually listen to her talking to an audience. I must read this story! Thanks Granta

How to Write about Africa
28/11/2012
View commentThis is ridiculous, over 40% of people living in sub saharan Africa DO live in absolute poverty, corruption IS endemic in all but the most stable regimes, and a significant amount of the problems in sub saharan Africa CAN be traced back to colonialism.
Obviously generalizations about Africa are damaging, and the image we have in the West of Africa as an impoverished hell hole does nothing but impede development, but that isn't to say we should ignore all the problems the country faces for the sake of being liberal and enlightened.
Clearly many countries in sub saharan Africa have a lot of very similar problems which need to be addressed;
poverty, corruption, conflict and misuse of natural resources to name but a few. We shouldn't ignore the development gap for the sake of political correctness, we should be studying the specific problems faced by specific countries and working with Africans to help them to solve them. There is a lot we don't know in the West, but we do know how to create stable and long lasting institutions and how to use market capitalism to our advantage. We should be adapting that experience to Africa's unique circumstances if we want to help the continent to stabilize, which we should because an unstable Africa is a danger to the rest of the world.

View commentHaha..funny.
What's your point though? Is this a call for censorship?
Or are you maybe saying only (well-off) Africans can write about Africa?
You know, literature functions like a mirror. If you don't like what you see in the mirror, don't start yelling at the mirror. That's silly. The only way is to change who or what is standing in front of the mirror.

View commentI especially love the irony of the ad for Craig Smith's 'Habibi' appearing on the right hand side, a tome which uses the equivalent of all these tropes and SO many more, but regarding 'The Middle East' (no, he never gets more specific than that. Yes, the poor women are hopelessly opressed. No, there is mention of the modern Arab technological states, only 'back in the day'. Yeah...)

View commentI spent the last year living in Nairobi and arriving I feelt just like any of those protagonists mention, though maybe sligthly more naîve. I was going to save Africa, or atleast a part of it.
Luckely for me I also brought along a few books by Kapuzinski, which aided in a more nuanced prespective.
But being back in Sweden I'm finding it hoplessly difficult to change the common perception and therefore rejoyce in anyone who's able to point out this amazing stupidity. This truely made my evening, thanks.
