East Africa

I was centered around this idea of white female sex tourism in the Gambia and in Kenya and in Morocco.

In reality, it's equally popular among white women to go to areas of southern europe for that and in reality like female sex tourism is like a grain of sand in the vast desert of male sex tourism which is the actual like problem that we're plagued with right and um but it's like this crafted kooky lens that has men envisioning their women as victims in these scenarios and like pitting against them and um also inspired by the Popobawa, which is a modern shape-shifting spirit in East Africa folklore.

It releases pungent sulfurous odors, and it's like a succubus, but it targets men and women with no distinction.

But all these things come out, and it's like I make essentially a blaxploitation flick of an album.

Yeah.

So Ali Mazrui was, of course, East Africa's probably leading intellectual figure.

in the 1960s.

He was a professor of political science at Makerere in Kampala, which was then the center of arts and culture, really, education in Eastern Africa.

Well, thank you so much for that.

And the second question is about you.

Now, how in the world did a young man from New York You get so entangled with Uganda and East Africa.

Where did this bite, this bug bite you from?

It was very...

It was not a high point of East African solidarity.

Let's put it that way.

Oh, yeah.

And that seems to have been the experience of loss to lots of expelled South Asians from Uganda.

Now we are going into a hypothesis.

It is said that in terms of the immigrant communities in the UK, the East African Asians are the richest immigrant community, even richer than the guys who came from the Caribbean and all these other places.

And that would be the case if they stayed in Uganda.

Most of the promised reinforcements were being quietly siphoned off to Malaya instead.

Still, he clung to hope of securing two East African brigades from Kenya and part of the 17th Division.

The following day, Wavell cabled the chief of the Imperial General Staff with a stark assessment of what was at stake.

Burma, he argued, was not a peripheral theater, but the very hinge of the war against Japan.

that's the area where we can begin to also innovate.

Things like fish, catfish in Nigeria or tilapia fish in East Africa.

And then a lot of that fish now has been doing what you call inbreeding.

There hasn't been introduction of other traits from other species.

I spoke to people in Asia.

I spoke to people in East Africa and in Europe, in the U.S. And I think that's what... really blew me away was the wide breadth of people for whom this work...

It was like everyone's background could not have been more different, and their trauma could not have been more different, and yet their story was eerily the same in that it was...

Nothing else worked for me.

And for the sake of time, I won't play it, but he goes on about the debts that he owes to other individuals who are of Indian descent in Britain.

The fact that his parents were born in East Africa doesn't in any way play a role in his identity.

He is claiming loyalty based on ancestry.

And he is expressing his obligations towards people who share his ancestry.

Well, we're really good with the German Catholics we've been serving in central Minnesota for the last 95 years, but our community doesn't look like that anymore.

And so how do we get in? So we actually created a multicultural division where we actually have Latino to African-American, East African, Somali as well, focus groups who are members who come in and we meet with them twice a year to try to better understand how might we serve you differently than we are today and what should that look like.

And it's not a goal to create different banking for different segments of groups.

It's basically saying, how do we have the ability to customize our high levels of service for every single member that banks with us?
