Are "Our" Problems Caused by "Them"?
The Livingstone Museum, in downtown Livingstone, Zambia, has an interesting way of chronologically displaying the area's history. It starts with the natural exhibits of the land, so famously shaped by Victoria Falls and the Zambezi River, move on to the local ethnography, and finally to the more recent history of the town itself. In this chronology, there is an interesting section that display a model of the pre-modern African village, with its semi-naked residents and thatched huts, immediately followed by the town of Livingstone at the turn of the century, with cars, shops, and a multiracial population.
