MATRIX, working in cooperation with the African Studies Center at MSU, and in partnership with premiere research institutions in Africa, is pioneering the African Online Digital Library.

AODL serves scholars and students conducting research and teaching about West and South Africa as well as teachers and students of African languages in both the United States and Africa. It also provides a valuable model for creating and distributing a diverse array of materials in a region with very limited electronic connectivity. This will be added to Academic Resources 2004-05 Internet MiniGuide.

Hotel Rwanda, the African Schindler's
List

Hotel Rwanda, the African Schindler's
List 03/17/2005 03:24 AM

We're just back from seeing the movie Hotel Rwanda at the Angelika in Greenwich Village.  The (true) story is about a Belgian-owned hotel in Rwanda where about 1000 people take refuge from the mass slaughter of Rwanda's 1994 civil war.  As with Schindler's List there is a background of killing but hardly any of the people featured in the movie are killed.  Perhaps this is the only way to make a commercially successful movie about genocide.

[Note to business folks who might be thinking of investing in Africa...  the one person in the docudrama who was both competent and honest emigrated to Belgium.  This was a sad echo of Paul Theroux's Dark Star Safari travelogue in which any African who developed the skills necessary to help Africa immediately emigrated to Europe.]
