Part insider critique of the volunteer tourism industry, part chilling memoir of six months spent in the company of the incompetent and insane, "Gringo Africano" is an adaptation and expansion of a blog the author kept whilst managing a volunteer project in rural Latin America. Initially begun as an effort to stay in touch with friends and family, it quickly developed into his only means to vent and reflect on the ineptitude, hypocrisy, absurdity and futility at the core of the group's efforts to help at-risk young adults steer clear of gang life. Often hilarious, occasionally insightful and relentlessly vicious, "Gringo Africano" draws back the curtain of propaganda surrounding volunteering and volunteers and cuts through the veneer of smug self-satisfaction to reveal the ineffective performance art that is the reality. A Latin Heart of Darkness... but with no river and more hate-filled ignorance.
