Reading A Tourist in Africa | Alexandria
Read A Tourist in Africa by Evelyn Waugh. Skewering colonialism's self-importance, Waugh's sardonic travelogue reveals uncomfortable truths about how we view "exotic" cultures through privileged eyes - while slyly mocking his own role as detached observer. His razor-sharp wit exposes the absurdity of Westerners seeking "authentic" experiences while remaining tourists in others' realities.
