Summary
Visits the countries through which the Nile flows to explore how the river has shaped their different cultural identities and helped to form perceptions of Africa in the Western imagination : Ethiopia : the Blue Nile, where the river seeps out of Ethiopia's Mount Gish at the Sekala Spring. Ethiopian tradition connects the river to the country's ancient Christian heritage ---- Uganda : British explorer John Hanning Speke claimed to have discovered the source of the White Nile in 1862 when he saw a huge river leaving the then unnamed Lake Victoria in Uganda. Zeinab considers what led to this claim and what Ugandans then and now made of the discovery
