In this episode, we dissect An African History of Africa by Zeinab Badawi, a sweeping narrative that spans from "the dawn of humanity to independence". We unpack the intricate layers of African history, highlighting the relationships and interactions between ancient civilisations, while also shedding light on the rich cultures and kingdoms such as Kongo, the Asante and the Amazingh that flourished across the continent prior to colonisation.

We explore the book's strengths, including its accessible style and the wealth of information it offers, even to those already familiar with African history.

Tune in for a thought-provoking exploration of African history, its diverse cultures, and the importance of reclaiming these narratives.
