Hi Nicola. Thanks for posting this. I can relate very strongly to many of these events and theories. The irony of post colonial travel and the self-help only available to those who can help themselves are painful thorns in the side of questions around who has freedom. I like the way you have linked this to the ideas around community as this seems more important than ever. I look forward to your next post. Mike
Thanks Mike. Yes you add a good point about people only being able to help themselves if they can afford to, either financially and/or through other forms of privilege. This is not really acknowledged in how the messages around taking responsibility for self is disseminated is it.
