An interactive map in Mother Jones Magazine of the celebrity recolonization of Africa.

map_celebrities.jpg



OVERSIZED SHADES have replaced pith helmets, writes By Dave Gilson in Mother Jones Magazine, 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 (http://motherjones.com/politics/2010/02/africa-celebrities-timeline-u2-michael-jackson-britney-spears ). And if you're looking for a more sober approach, check out Mother Jones' recent package on human rights.
