The Image of Africa in Our Classrooms.
Pahl, Ronald H.
Social Studies, v86 n6 p245-47 Nov-Dec 1995
Argues that the media portrayal of Africa remains highly selective, focusing almost solely on negative and violent stories. Positive stories (local initiatives, political reform) go unreported as does much of the Western powers involvement in famine and destruction. Includes a list of sources on African current affairs.
