Read The Divide - Hickel, How Europe Underdeveloped or Africa - Rodney or Kicking Away the Ladder - Ha Joon Chang, or find summaries or explainers of these texts online. They contextualise the economic disadvantages of continent, and how were are complicit in maintaining the unfairness

Also consume African fiction. Because if Africans aren't humans to you, doing ordinary day to day shit, then that's weird.

My Sister the Serial Killer, Homecoming and my all time fav, Nervous Condtions. Secret Lives of Baba Segi's Lives is a modern classic. These are 4 of 1000s.

It's hilarious. I thought of it whilst watching Sweet Bobby actually

just bit by bit reprogram how you look at the continent. It's absolutely massive. The whole of western Europe can fit into the DRC. It's not this one big 'thing' that you can conceptualise. The problems all coexist with the multitude of successes. Go visit a little corner of it. Enjoy yourself
