Everything I Don't Know

While reading the Moss chapters I found myself completely awestricken by the complexities of the history of Africa. Throughout my readings I was often reminded of one of my favorite quotes: "there are the things we know, the things we know we don't know, and the things we don't know that we don't know", I'd have to say the latter was true for all the insight I've gained just in these few chapters. Giving myself a little credit: I'll admit I was aware that colonialism took place in Africa, but to such degrees--I was never learned.
This is corny, but, I can't help but feel humbled by the severity of Africa's complex nature. Although such impressions can seem overwhelming; to come to this kind of realization this early on in a course is nothing but exciting for me. Moss has put so much into perspective; from the notion that development requires social change to British Imperialism--I have gained a priceless discernment already. I can only look forward to becoming increasingly refined on the Sub-Saharan Africa and it's complexity.
