Dudette, when I read what you said about "Alexander Mccall Smith as a white male has managed to capture the African mindset and way of life so well in his writing" it got me thinking. Is this really the African mindset or is it a white person's view of the African mindset?

I haven't a clue to the answer as I can't profess to have an intimate knowledge or understanding of the (Black) (female) African mindset. However, it does push familiar buttons to the caracature (sp?) of it.


I've wondered the same thing, webtalk Smile
