Most people log on to social "networking" sites not to network but mainly to lurk. They like the cover the Internet provides for them and they are able to get involved without really getting involved, if you know what I mean. I don't know how old you are but I'm 41 and I haven't had much luck with people my age either. I started a Ning community to discuss issues with black parents about our children and education. I sent out 50 invitations and had 4 people join and not one single commentary or post was made on the site in almost 5 months. It's very sad. I wish I knew why people are so reluctant as well, I guess we're all so busy with everyday "real life" and our own personal issues that the online world is viewed as more of an escape than anything else.  less

What about African, Caribbean, Latin and Afro-European literature? Our experiences will be always be limited if we take on the attitude of, nothing exists beyond our shores. Africans all over the world have so much to learn from and teach to, one another. First we'll have to acknowledge that we all fall under the category of Africans and we have to accept our family on the continent and the rest of the world and they'll have to accept us. There is an amazing amount of art being created all the time by US but if WE don't recognize it then we're losing our legacy. We all have to make more effort to develop ways to exchange and promote African arts among our fellow Africans and the rest of the world if we want to see our artists gain the recognition that they deserve.  less
