Taking the continent as a whole, this religious tension may be responsible for the revival of the commonest racial feeling. africa is divided into black and white, and the names that are substituted- africa south of the sahara, africa north of the sahara- do not manage to hide this latent racism. here, it is affirmed that white africa has a thousand-year-old tradition of culture; that she is mediterranean, that she is a continuation of europe and that she shares in graeco-latin civilization. black africa is looked on as a region that is inert, brutal, uncivilized - in a word, savage.

Africa - you can see a sunset and believe you have witnessed the hand of god. you watch the slope lope of a lioness and forget to breathe. you marvel at the tripod of a giraffe bent to water. in africa, there are iridescent blues on the wings of birds that you do not see anywhere else in nature. in africa, in the midday heart, you can see blisters in the atmosphere. when you are in africa, you feel primordial, rocked in the cradle of the world.
