Folks who know me will undoubtedly know that Senegal and Estonia are two of my favorite countries. (Heck, they comprise two of the four countries in my book.)
So, you bet my interest was piqued when I read that Doudou Diène, the UN’s Special Rapporteur on contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance, just authored a study on racism in Estonia. I’m guessing that he just might be the only Senegalese person in recent memory to set foot on Estonian soil.
I’m not sure that I understand all the issues here, but Justin, over at Itching for Eestimaa, my source for all things Estonian, has a post about it.
In addition, apparently Diène has just arrived Stateside to do a similar study about us.
