Africa Clichés, Part LXXVIII
The blog Africa is a Country reacts to the NYT Magazine's Coverage of John "Save Darfur" Prendergast. The best summary is from former NYT Reporter Howard French's Twitter feed: "Bwana Saves Africa, Part 3,276." The same blog had a post yesterday on cringe-inducing attempts to have a supermodel portray an "Africa" theme at a certain fashion show. It reminded me of crude Hollywood portrayals of Africa when I was a child. And no, I'm not showing you the picture.
