I 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.
