Petina Gappah Zitate

Die schmerzliche Wahrheit mag sein, dass Simbabwe, der jüngste der ehemaligen Kolonien Afrikas, einfach dahin ging, wohin der Kontinent geführt hat, und den ausgetretenen Weg eingeschlagen, der aus der Lüge geschlagen ist, dass die Machtübernahme der Kolonialisten und die Bereitstellung von Demokratie für die Menschen eins sind das Gleiche.

When coming in to land at Santiago, Chile, I saw the area between the city and the Andes mountains was smoking with rubbish dumps. While exploring the dumps, I made friends with people living and working there and saw how they survived through recycling the rubbish.
