Summary: What could be a better way to learn about the world than National Geographic magazine? A lot of ways, apparently. This exposé will amaze you. Read how National Geographic selects their articles and pictures.
See Enlightenment-age racism institutionalized in the publications, smell the elitism and listen as the authors rage against the cultural chauvinism of this highly influential self-appointed eyeglass to the world.
Read this firebrand of a book, and you’ll see the absolute necessity for discernment in our information sources. World Christians need to inform themselves from sources that don’t describe pre-literate societies as if they were children, or depict local middle classes and elites in well over half of their pictures.
