I thought this might be interesting for those who chose to defend colonialism and its modes of thought, in re the Zambian essay.

Some new research suggests that colonialism is directly responsible for the spread of AIDS. Here's the essay from the Washington Post: http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/health-science/colonialism-in-africa-helped-launch-the-hiv-epidemic-a-century-ago/2012/02/21/gIQAyJ9aeR_story.html The book mentioned is at http://www.amazon.co.uk/Tinderbox-Sparked-Epidemic-Finally-Overcome/dp/159420327X/

I have attached a paper which goes over the history of the virus, and lends significant support to the headline claim in the WaPo.
