We’re back! We pulled a disappearing act for a while there, but fear not, we did not quit! We’re way too passionate about this to do that.
Thankfully, we have the next 3 podcasts already recorded so there will not be another long hiatus.
In this podcast, we dig deeper into the misconceptions about Africa.
We begin with a short discussion on Justine Sacco.
Remember her? When we recorded this podcast, the now forgotten unfortunate woman had just made her infamous comments. We spend the first few minutes giving our take on the whole saga, which turns out to be the perfect segue for our main topic…
Where did the concept of Africa as a country come from?
Because it’s NOT a country (in case you forgot 🙂 )
Specifically, we address the difficulty of recording history in pre-colonial Africa and the role of colonialism in shaping the single African story.
