A Rwandan who never lived in Rwanda explains Rwanda.
That’s the twist in Jeanne Adili Ndatirwa’s TEDxBerlin talk, When We See Us: Rwanda and the power of traditional wisdom. She ties the colonial past, the 1994 genocide and the country’s comeback to traditional knowledge, and to how Africa gets seen from outside (and by Africans themselves).
Pair it with Debra Kamin’s talk: the outsider’s view and the view from the diaspora.
