A great start, even with some expected opening day hiccups. In the 4 days since permits, our organizer Julie sourced the Wk1 vendors & even set up tents herself! Next Saturday weβll have even more vendor stalls, live entertainment & lots more locally-made items you canβt find anywhere else. #NewWest

For all the invasions, foreign rulers, and divisions, it is still a land of memory stretching thousands of years. Part of this is because the physical past is so present in China. In Western terms, it would be as if the civilizations of ancient Greece, Rome, and Europe used the same script and cultural references and were transplanted into one geographic area about the size of the United States. Imagine if educated Americans could read ancient Greek, Latin, and most modern European languages, and that many key artifacts of these erasβthe Acropolis, the Colosseum, Chartres, and Auschwitz-were located within the continental United States.

The legacy of past injustices haunts South Africa: most notably, the Native Land Act of 1913, which restricted Black people to living in just 13 percent of the colonial territory, and the reality that during the apartheid years some 85 percent of the land was owned by the tiny white minority. In 2017 a survey showed that nearly three-quarters of private farmland in South Africa was owned by whites, who make up just 9 percent of the population.

Odd coincidence or colonial tendency?
