The words and the Degrees (Part 2)

Our Inner Voices

“The present predicaments of Africa are often not a matter of personal choice: they arise from a historical situation.’’- Ngugi wa Thiong’o. What is the relationship between the old white men who wrote about the history of Africa and the African students who engage with their works today? For a lot of us, there is a desire to see a change in the works we engage with. My guests Onika, Nancy and Eva join me to have a deeper discussion about 1. The curriculum at SOAS among other unis, 2. The power of language. We hope you enjoy!
