East Africa Quotes

• Existe la compleja categorización de baja calidez/alta competencia. Es el estereotipo hostil de los estadounidenses de origen asiático por parte de los estadounidenses blancos, de los judíos en Europa, de los indopaquistaníes en África Oriental, de los libaneses en África Occidental, de los chinos étnicos en Indonesia y de los ricos por parte de los pobres en casi todas partes. Es la misma derogación por lo bajo: Son fríos, avariciosos, fanáticos... pero, caramba, seguro que son buenos haciendo dinero y deberías ir a uno que sea médico si estás gravemente enfermo.

• En la sociedad matrilineal africana, el linaje desciende por el lado femenino. Los árabes que invadieron África Oriental y otras partes de África lo invirtieron a patrilineal donde todo desciende por el lado masculino y la mujer no tiene derechos básicos excepto los que el hombre está dispuesto a concederle.

• I like to get into a lot of things besides movies. I've been very involved with a few specific efforts. We built this park in New York and it's been a very successful project... I worked on a conservation project in East Africa... Too much of this type of stuff can get you wrapped up in your own work and I love it.

• You read statistics all the time like, "13 million people are at risk because of the severe drought in East Africa," but I think those kinds of numbers fall on deaf ears - there's so much devastation in the world, that it's a bit overwhelming for people.

• I was a news reporter for 16 years, seven of them a foreign correspondent in the Middle East, Africa and the Balkans. Perhaps the most useful equipment I acquired in that time is a lack of preciousness about the act of writing. A reporter must write. There must be a story. The 'mot juste' unarriving? Tell that to your desk.

• All over East Africa-indeed, all over Africa-it is normal for people to walk a kilometer or two or six for water. In more arid areas, people walk even greater distances, and sometimes all they find at the end is a pond slimy with overuse. More than 90 percent of Africans still dig for their water, and waterborne diseases such as typhoid, dysentery, bilharzia, and cholera are common. The bodies of many Africans are a stew of parasites. In some areas the wells are so far below the earth's surface that chains of people are required to pass up the water.

• They always mean beautiful things like hummingbirds. I always reply by saying that I think of a little child in east Africa with a worm burrowing through his eyeball. The worm cannot live in any other way, except by burrowing through eyeballs. I find that hard to reconcile with the notion of a divine and benevolent creator.
