culture and perception



In Rwanda, it is very common for men to completely shave their heads. Papa Jacynth does it regularly. Young men and children do the same.
A little boy living in the area tells Jacynth: ‘Look, the muzungo started shaving his head but he did not finish the job!’ I prefer this interpretation over: ‘Look the muzungo is balding pretty bad!’
