    >REQUEST FOR HELP RE EAST AFRICA

    I can see that the intent to gather white man's emotional response to
    Africa's nature is starting to raise some offense. Understandably so I
    would say, as not seeing the people living in this landscape has been very
    much what Europeans have chosen to do for too long. May I suggest an other
    angle, by also focusing on visitors who came and were rude enough to speak
    their mind (and so their prejudices)? - take Evelyn Waugh's book "Remote
    people" as a suggestion.
