I've just looked at the BASA website and I saw the proverb: 'Until the lions have their own historians, tales of hunting will always be of the hunter' I used to like the proverb, but it occured to me, one day, that it implied an adversarial relationship - which is not necessarily that case between blacks and white. It also assumed that we belong to two irreconcilable species. Overall I concluded that such a proverb did more harm than good. What do others think? Angela Allison Coventry, UK
