I read it and the rest of the book today, haha!

The part I think I will continue to think about for the rest of my life is in the last chapter in this part - "The Invention of Africa." From the errors of the "three people groups" in Rwanda to the Kukuyu vs. the Maasai in Kenya, and all of those stories we've told ourselves (we = non Africans) to justify stealing and devastating an entire continent - phew phew phew.
