Tim Shaner's Radio Ethiopia: Testimony of a Development Brat, is a fantastic hybrid that reflects and refracts the memories and fluid identities of a boy raised in Ethiopia and Ethiopian and African and American and European national, colonial and imperial history. It is a whirling dervish of subjects and subjectivities, a tour-de-force of poetry and personal loss of a brother, sister, and sense of self, as found and reconstructed and reified in treasured pictures and odd mementos, images of album covers and Patti Smith lyrics, found and discovered quotes, convolutions of Rimbaud and Rambo as Renoirishly drawn self-portrait and anti-manifesto.
