Through the lens of Rowe's human relationships with two Kenyan conservationists, Wangari Maathai and Daphne Sheldrick, The Elephants in the Room surveys lots of prejudices that many folks who are fortunate to be delivered with the privileges mounted on the skin we have color, making love, and usage of resources don't like to cope with: Competition, misogyny, and the legacy of empire. By examining both women's memoirs (Unbowed and Love, Life, and Elephants), both of which were launched following talks at the North american Museum of Natural History in NEW YORK, these metaphorical elephants in the room are coupled with a report of the exploitation of actual elephants on the continent of Africa, and the iterations of memory space that are disclosed or concealed in the writing of memoirs and the collecting of bone fragments for museums. Like elephants themselves, The Elephants in the Room ranges far, analyzing work by Joseph Conrad, Robert Pogue Harrison, Barbara Gowdy, Willard Price, George Orwell, Adam Hochschild, yet others.
