translation.en: If I had not grown up in Nigeria, and if all I knew about Africa were from popular images, I too would think that Africa was a place of beautiful landscapes, beautiful animals, and incomprehensible people, fighting senseless wars, dying of poverty and AIDS, unable to speak for themselves and waiting to be saved by a kind, white foreigner.
translation.zh: 如果我不是在尼日利亚长大，如果我对非洲的一切认识 都来自于大众流行的影像， 我相信我眼中的非洲也同样是充满了 美丽的地貌、美丽的动物、 以及一群难以理解的人们 进行着毫无意义的战争、死于艾滋和贫穷、 无法为自己辩护 并且等待着一位慈悲的、 白种的外国人的救赎。
