SUMMARY:An African History of Africa\, with Zeinab Badawi
DESCRIPTION:Re/Presenting Europe invites you to join a conversation on An African History of Africa with Zeinab Badawi \nThe award-winning author and BBC broadcaster Zeinab Badawi will guide us through Africa’s spectacular history\, as explored in her new book An African History of Africa: From the Dawn of Humanity to Independence (2024). With a conversation between Badawi and writer Vamba Sherif\, moderated by journalist Phaedra Haringsma. \nDate: 11 October 2024 \nTime: 15h00-17h00 \nLocation: Oudemanhuispoort University of Amsterdam\, Room D0.08\, Oudemanhuispoort 4 \nMore about Zeinab Badawi: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn her new book An African History of Africa (2024)\, Sudanese-British journalist and broadcaster Zeinab Badawi traces the sprawling history of the African continent through the voices of Africans themselves – of countless historians\, anthropologists\, archaeologists and local storytellers from across more than 30 countries. ‘The history of Africa is the story of the origins of human civilisation’\, states Badawi\, yet little of its early and modern history is widely known. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe continent has been neglected\, overlooked and dominated by Western narratives of poverty\, slavery and colonialism. In this lecture\, Badawi will reveal the engrossing tales of warrior queens\, mighty civilisations\, lavish buildings\, and bustling markets that show how Africa’s history is so much more than the story we think we know. \n\n\n\nJoin Badawi and Vamba Sherif\, author of The Emperor’s Son (2023)\, as they discuss the significance of books like theirs\, in a conversation moderated by research journalist and program maker Phaedra Haringsma. From the origins of ancient civilisations and medieval empires\, to the miseries of conquest and the elation of independence\, you will leave with a deeper understanding of the epic and sweeping history of the planet’s oldest inhabited continent. \n\n\n\n\n\nPlease RSVP here.
