Dr. Clooney, I Presume?

An interactive map of the celebrity recolonization of Africa.

| March/April Issue

OVERSIZED SHADES have replaced pith helmets, but the new scramble for Africa has its share of adventurers, would-be saviors, and even turf battles. As Madonna's publicist explains, "She's focusing on Malawi. South Africa is Oprah's territory."

The map below takes a lighter look at the sometimes serious, sometimes silly business of celebrity altruism. For more on how Africa became the hottest continent for A-list do-gooders like Bono and Brangelina, see here. And if you're looking for a more sober approach, check out our recent package on human rights.

It's a valid point of view but I also think it makes something positive seem negative. We really should focus on the fact that some celebrities are doing amazing work in this area of the world and have saved many lives through their activism.
