Podcasts about dipo faloyin

Nigerijský novinář Dipo Faloyin vydal esejistickou knihu Afrika přece není stát. Sarkastický humor, nadhled, ironie – to jsou silné stránky publikace, která nám osvětluje stereotypní konstrukty pohledu na Afriku a její historii i současnost. Faloyin se mimo jiné ptá, jak se lze vyrovnat s následky kolonialismu a zda lze bolesti a křivdy způsobené Západem narovnat. Jak vzít osud do vlastních rukou a přitom zůstat světu otevřený?Všechny díly podcastu Ex libris můžete pohodlně poslouchat v mobilní aplikaci mujRozhlas pro Android a iOS nebo na webu mujRozhlas.cz.

[História] Resenha do livro "Africa is not a country", de Dipo Faloyin. O texto escrito está nesse link. O que vem à sua mente quando você pensa em África? Uma paisagem magnífica de uma savana com elefantes ao por-do-sol? Ou crianças famintas, guerras e AIDs? Saiba que esses estereótipos têm um motivo para existir e precisamos ver além do que nos é vendido. Para isso, é essencial conhecer a história. Se você, como eu, não aprendeu isso na escola, agora é a chance de entender mais sobre o tema. Não perca essa oportunidade; você vai ver o mundo inteiro com outros olhos! Infelizmente, o livro foi publicado no ano passado e ainda não tem em português (tomara que traduzam logo!); mas se você quiser ter o seu exemplar, aqui o link para a versão em espanhol e aqui a versão original em inglês na Amazon do Brasil.

Noch immer sind Klischees und Vorurteile rund um den afrikanischen Kontinent Alltag. "Afrika ist kein Land" ist der Titel von gleich zwei Büchern, die auf ganz unterschiedliche Weise versuchen, diese Klischees zu benennen und aufzubrechen. Die Autor:innen der beiden Bücher, Jennifer McCann und Dipo Faloyin, sind beide in dieser Episode zu Gast.

W tym luźnym odcinku opowiadam o wyspie tysiąca meczetów oraz o tym jak sobię radzę kiedy rzeczywistość nie spotyka się z moimi oczekiwaniami.Książka:Afryka to nie państwo - Dipo Faloyin

Gun battles, mass graves, and explosions – that's not a description of a battlefield, but of an illegal gold mine in South Africa. Gold mining propped up the nation's economy for over a century, and still today countries like the UK trade millions for its gold. But a huge price crash in the late 90s put tens of thousands of miners out of a job. Since then, a literal criminal underworld has risen, operated by illegal miners named the Zama-Zamas, who risk their lives everyday in abandoned mine shafts that could collapse any minute. Kimon de Greef is a journalist who has investigated all this for The New Yorker. He joins Dipo Faloyin in the Bunker to explain what drives the Zama-Zamas and where their gold goes. • “Up until the end of apartheid, Gold was the bedrock of South Africa's economy.” – Kimon de Greef. • “It's like something out of the most dystopian science fiction, down there, but it's real.” – Kimon de Greef. • “Gold really explains a lot of South Africa's social history.” – Kimon de Greef. www.patreon.com/bunkercast  Presented by Dipo Faloyin.

Are any of our institutions sacred? The latest drama from the British Museum has us questioning the role museums play in our society. This week on the Bunker Panel we ask the question: are we more shocked by corruption in our museums than in political office? And what is it about scandals that really grabs our attention? We've assembled some of the Bunker's most scandalous contributors to get to the bottom of this. Senior editor of global news at Vice, Dipo Faloyin, and historian Seth Thévoz, join Andrew Harrison and Dr. Kasia Tomasiewicz in the latest edition of The Bunker Panel. “No one ever went into politics to get rich, but you could get corrupted.” – Seth Thévos “The difference between a scandal and criminality is that scandals require the public to do something about it.” – Dipo Faloyin “History is so much more than a collection of busts, canoes, death masks and weaponry.” – Andrew Harrison “As soon as artefacts are bought into private collections, they just disappear. Rich and important material culture of world civilization is just gone.” – Dr. Kasia Tomasiewicz Book Links “Africa is not a country” by Dipo Faloyin:  https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/444389/africa-is-not-a-country-by-faloyin-dipo/9781529114829 “Behind Closed Doors” By Seth Thévoz:  https://www.hachette.co.uk/titles/seth-alexander-th%C3%A9voz/behind-closed-doors/9781472146458/ Written and presented by Andrew Harrison.

Hoewel Afrika een continent is van bijna 1,5 miljard mensen, 54 landen en meer dan 2000 talen, wordt het in onze westerse media maar al te vaak gereduceerd tot één simpel verhaal. Met zijn boek 'Afrika is geen land' wil de Nigeriaanse journalist Dipo Faloyin dit beeld grondig bijstellen. Nadia Nsayi is politicologe, en verantwoordelijk voor de culturele programmatie bij het AfricaMuseum. Zij heeft het boek gelezen.

Today, decolonisation is generally spoken of as the rightful return of things to the way they once were, and the removal of all traces of colonial rule. But is this necessarily the best way to move forward and give agency to African nations? Or has decolonisation become a reductionist trope – a scapegoat for modern problems? To delve into the nuances and importance of decolonisation we're joined by Olufemi Taiwo, Professor of African Political Thought at Cornell University, and Dipo Faloyin, Senior Editor at VICE and author of Africa Is Not A Country: Breaking Stereotypes of Modern Africa.

In an increasingly polarised world, it's not often we get books saying that difference is our greatest strength. But Farhan Samanani is a Canadian social anthropologist, whose recent book, How to Live with Each Other, does just that. It looks at how communities thrive when embracing their diversity. Farhan's work and studies have taken him around the world but it's the local, yet no less global, streets of Kilburn, a neighbourhood in northwest London, which informs much of his work. He's joined in conversation by Dipo Faloyin, senior editor and writer at VICE, and author of the book Africa is Not a Country, which focuses on issues of diversity and identity across the African continent.

Africa is made up of 54 different countries – so why is it so often talked about as one singular place? Dipo Faloyin, a senior editor at Vice and author of Africa is Not a Country, joins Jelena Sofronijevic to discuss the continent's diversity and how that's been erased in everyday discussions. What led to the condensed view of today and how can we properly engage with the region? “People would rather see the entire region as a singular monolith, instead of a region that can be anything.” “Too many people have grown up with this idea of Africa as a singular monolith.” “Often when we talk about Africa we look at it from 1,000 miles up in the air or we look at it through the lens of safari, and that isn't the reality for people on the ground.” “It's always just so sad to hear that people when they think of Africa they see it as a problem.” “It's hard to get people to see Africa in a different way when they're still bombarded with images of babies with flies around their head.” “The most important thing is that we start to see vast stories of success, failure, love. That's something that's really missing across the pop culture landscape.” “The history of Africa is also the history of the UK.” https://www.patreon.com/bunkercast Written and presented by Jelena Sofronijevic.

We're joined this week by Dipo Faloyin, a journalist, senior editor at VICE and the author of "Africa Is Not A Country: Breaking Stereotypes of Modern Africa".  In this episode, we talk about the legacy of Kony 2012 - one of the first 'super viral' social media campaigns, and the ways that it impacted the economies and societies of a number of countries in Africa. We also talk about the nihilism that emerged out of the failures of Kony 2012, and the ways they shape how we understand the modern internet, and, crucially, why we seem to have so little faith in it anymore.  -------- Read Dipo's article, here: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/apr/27/kony-2012-10-years-africa-problem -------- Buy Dipo's book here: https://www.waterstones.com/book/africa-is-not-a-country/dipo-faloyin/9781787302952 -------- Ten Thousand Posts is a show about how everything is posting.

Journalist and writer Dipo Faloyin's new book, Africa Is Not A Country, looks to challenge overly simplistic narratives for one of the most culturally diverse regions on Earth. The African continent is home to over 2,000 languages – from Igbo to Xhosa, Franglais to Yoruba – and comprises countries as politically varied as post-Arab Spring Egypt, fast-growing Ghana, and increasingly authoritarian Rwanda. Joining Dipo to discuss it is our host, the award-winning journalist Yousra Elbagir. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The new novel, Glory, by prize winning writing NoViolet Bulawayo is a postcolonial tale of power and tyranny – an African Animal Farm. It's set in the fictional Jidada, that resembles Zimbabwe during the overthrow of Robert Mugabe, and is populated by a vivid cast of animals – from the vicious dog-soldiers to the powerful Old Horse leader himself. She tells Adam Rutherford how her chorus of animal voices help reveal the human world more clearly. The journalist Dipo Faloyin wants to push against harmful stereotypes of modern Africa. In his latest book, Africa Is Not A Country, he argues that a continent of over 1.4 billion people, 54 countries and more than 2,000 languages has been reduced to a simplistic story. He looks at how politics, culture and community have emerged in different ways across Africa. Julia Gallagher is Professor of African Politics at SOAS, University of London. Her research explores the architecture of state buildings in different African countries – from the re-purposed colonial structures to the new palatial palaces of post-independence – and how citizens respond to them. Also as the African Union celebrates twenty years since it was founded – housed in a new compound built by the Chinese in Addis Ababa – she looks at the position of the AU in the 21st century.
