Africa
#6
Thanks for the feedback. I find that reading weird, since while suffering and enslavement is a recurring theme here, it's not really a focus---section 2 is a myth that doesn't involve it at all, sections 3 and 5 are specific counterexamples to that sort of narrative, and the suffering in section 6 is tied to figures for whom the only evidence is Western myth. Only sections 1 and 4 play to that sort of narrative.

It’s a fairly cliched view of Africa as a continent with nothing to offer other than suffering and corruption, like Trump’s America. It is a BBC World view of Africa, where the only good news is bad news.
