Bob Elsen, Ignace Pollet, Patrick Develtere Compass for intercultural partnerships
a thought provoking book to deploy the integration of cultures as a source of welfare and tolerance in a glocalising world

Plagues of locusts, drought and ebola. In Africa homosexuals are getting the blame for everything. It's open season. Homosexuality is called 'un-African', 'in direct conflict with its own distinctive culture', a 'western disease'. What's the motivation behind those leaders who are fighting to keep their continent 'morally pure'? There's another story. More and more African gays and lesbians are coming out of the closet. Equal rights activism has become a reality and a passionate debate is raging....
