Ultimate Safari

1. Check books. No vocab!!

2. Let's look at Mozambique. Where the heck is it?

And where is that park, Kruger National Park? Kruger Park: popular national reserve in Northeast SA that's a popular tourist attraction destination for rich foreigners that want the "ultimate safari" experience.

3. Now, some facts:
  • The Renamo: a group that tried to overthrow the Marxist government (Marxism: basis and theory for communism; goals: classless society in which all people are equal but there is a leading elite but that elite got nothing for leading -- think more socialist than communist) in Mozambique. South Africa funded much of the Remano work.
  • 1970s-1980s: South Africa funded and supported a lot of destabilization efforts in neighboring countries because whites had been thrown from power (except for SA).
  • Estimated that the Renamo raids killed some 1 million people and forced the exodus of thousands of poor villagers
4. Some questions/things to ponder:
  • Let's examine the diction of the narrator: look closely at the language used and tell me what you can discern about the narrator. Who is she? How do you know? Be careful not to jump to any conclusions.
