Thank you for sharing your perspective! I did not know that there is an area named after her in Kenya-I shouldn't be surprised, as someone who grew up in Vienna, I'm familiar with street names that honour people who were Nazis/had Nazi ties.

The passage you picked is not even the worst, I found myself periodically disgusted by 'Out of Africa'. Your teacher must have been one of those people who admired her 'glorious prose'. There may be beauty to the words but one cannot divorce them wholly from the content.
