Checking back in after I’ve finished the unfortunately underwhelming Kenya chapter. The two West African chapters on Senegal and Sierra Leone were also weak. By contrast, the South Africa chapter was very good, as was the Burundi/Rwanda analysis. Seems he’s got a handle on the East and no dog in the race in the West.

What a cool job this guy worked. That being said I have thoroughly been scared straight about Somalia Sudan and Zimbabwe. Helllll na

Remarkable how similar my experience is so far to Dowden’s account of Uganda in the 70s. Funnily enough he only ever mentions Luganda, except for the fact that close to every word he translates for the reader is Swahili. Maybe the Bantu languages just are that similar. I’ll ask my buddy in Malaba.
