The Heart of Dark Imaginations
From: Rwanda and the New Scramble for Africa
$0.90
In Chapter 8, Philpot offers a post-colonial critique of how Africa has been portrayed in the Western imagination. Using Dorothy Hammond’s and Alta Jablow’s in-depth study “The Africa that Never Was, Four Centuries of British Writing about Africa,” Philpot highlights the engrained notions of Europe’s so-called civilizing mission in Africa and how it continues to the present day through the attitudes and references towards all people who write about Africa, and specifically about Central Africa and Rwanda.
