    ‘It is better to burn than to disappear.’ The Stranger is a probing look into the folds of existence, and one that forces the reader to consider their own life and it’s place under all those indifferent stars.

    While cultural imperialism may seem noble in the minds of those carrying it out, in reality, it has a fatal flaw. Jeanette Winterson once said, “Confidence and superiority: It's the usual fundamentalist stuff: I've got the truth, and you haven't.” When European colonists arrived in Africa, they believed themselves as culturally and economically superior beings.
