Africa and the world's perceptions of it

What is it about Africa that makes America, Canada, Europe, and other nations and peoples just shiver, back off warily, or raise their eyebrows? Just what DO we know about Africa? In what depth?

• Becoming familiar with Africa, her nations and peoples

  Let's face it-- as a continent, Africa may have much more variety of geography and cultural and bilogical diversity than a few of our other continents and regions. What do Americans, Canadians, Australians, Europeans know about Kenya, Sudan, Rwanda, or Central Africna Republic? Let's devote the next nine months to networking for education and community development. Then let's further dialogue with the hopes of understanding who are the peolple there and who have immigrated into our respective countries, whether that be the U.K., the US, Canada, Brasil, Japane, or Australia.

  I'll choose Sudan for starters and try to read everything I can on it starting today!

    I think that the reason we don't know too much about africa is because we never hear about them on the news and they aren't really involved in world politics. At least not that I'm aware of. And since they're not a major power no one really cares to know about them or what's going on in africa. Devoting my next nine months......sorry. I don't think so. I ahve enough trouble trying to keep up with what's happening in America. Oh well. But you do make a very good point.
