An African History of Africa, with Zeinab Badawi
Zeinab Badawi guides us through an epic history of Africa, from the dawn of civilisation to independence
'The history of Africa is the story of the origins of human civilisation,' states the author and broadcaster, Zeinab Badawi. Yet little of the continent’s early and modern history is widely known – engrossing tales of warrior queens, mighty civilisations, lavish buildings and bustling markets. Instead, Africa has been neglected, overlooked and dominated by Western narratives of poverty, slavery and colonialism.
Join Badawi as she reveals how Africa’s history is so much more than the story we think we know. In her new book, An African History of Africa, she traces its sprawling past through the voices of Africans themselves: historians, anthropologists, archaeologists and local storytellers from more than 30 countries. In this special livestreamed event, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of the epic and sweeping history of the planet’s oldest inhabited continent.
