Episode 13 of season 3 is a response to the book The Bright Continent: Breaking Rules & Making Change in Modern Africa by Dayo Olopade.  In part one we dig into some key concepts in the first four chapter of the book and I give my thoughts and experiences on those topics. Dayo does a beautiful job on highlighting many of the things that get overlooked with it comes to international aid in sub-Saharan Africa.  She shares her experience and research traveling and doing journalism throughout several African countries.  Part 1 of this book response opens the discussion on the mapping of Africa, colonialism, fat and lean countries, yahoo boys, and informal economies and fail formal institutions. I add in some of own experiences and stories working and living in eight African countries, some shared and some differing with the author. If you love Africa and are interested in the vast array development work being done in sub-Saharan Africa you won't want to miss this social impact series!  Need marketing expertise?

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.

7 Months ago THEMBA dropped ‘Modern Africa' Exclusive Mix on 1001Tracklists and my favorite song was this one by &Lez and it's dropping tomorrow on his record label Visile Records 08. &Lez - Leave My Shadow [Visile Records] "The track itself is a mesmerising deep slab of filth, with hallmark uber fresh percussion, giving the track drive. Big bass stabs, a tinkly toned top line and that vocal all merge wonderfully in to a melting pot of tension creating dramatic goodness. the breakdown intensifies things further, as a wobbly edged pad and a dramatic piano melt in to the musical pot, and really fire things up. From fans of tribal house and the glory days of Tenaglia in the 90's, to Dixon's Innervisions imprint today - you can hear the direct influences here as always from andlez, fusing the old with the new, yet sounding timeless and as fresh as a daisy. Proper underground club vibes." - https://www.beatport.com/release/leave-my-shadow/3747779

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.

In the West, many think of HIV/AIDS as a phenomenon that began in the 1980s, when news first broke of a mysterious and highly deadly disease. In reality, however, the history of HIV/AIDS stretches back more than a hundred years, and has been shaped by some of the most important trends of the 20th century: from European colonialism in Africa, to the proxy conflicts fought between allies of the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cold War, to the globalization and economic neoliberalism that transformed the global economy in the late twentieth century. On this episode of History Talk, hosts Eric Michael Rhodes and Lauren Henry speak with three experts — Thomas F. McDow, Kathy Lancaster, and Jesse Kwiek— about the origins, spread, and future of HIV/AIDS in both the United States and around the world. For more Origins coverage of HIV/AIDS and other related topics, check out Thomas F. McDow's feature Origins article A Century of HIV, as well as A New Congo Crisis?, Searching for Wakanda: The African Roots of the Black Panther Story and The Soccer World Goes to South Africa: Sport and the Making of Modern Africa.

Who, in the field of genocide studies, hasn’t at least once used the phrase “The century of genocide?”  Books carry the title, journalists quote it in interviews and undergrads adopt it. There’s nothing wrong with the phrase, as far as it goes.  But, as Scott Straus points out, conceptualizing the century in that way masks a fundamental truth about the period–that there were many more crises that could have led to genocide but which stopped short than there were actual genocides. And this is a problem for the academic study of genocide.   For if that discipline is at least in part attempting to understand what causes genocides and how to prevent them, ignoring the dog that didn’t bark is a serious challenge. This is the point Straus makes in his wonderful new book Making and Unmaking Nations:  War, Leadership and Genocide in Modern Africa (Cornell University Press, 2015).  A political scientist, Straus looks to address two methodological issues in understanding genocide.  The first is the problem of  the dog that didn’t bark.  The second is the fact that genocide studies often compares genocides that occurs in dramatically different contexts and cultures. The result is a wonderfully rich and thought-provoking study.  It’s one that all genocide scholars will need to wrestle with.  And, with Straus a former journalist, non-specialists will find it readable and interesting as well.

Join The Gist of Freedom as welcome author Dr. Tyrene Wright,  “Booker T. Washington And Africa, The Making of A Pan Africanist.” A Booker T. Washington scholar, Dr. Wright takes a different approach to examining Washington and the Tuskegee model. Her research focuses on Booker T. Washington's role and relationship with African people and Africa which argues that Washington's role was to promote sustainable agriculture, and economic models amongst African communities worldwide. She is the author of Booker T. Washington and Africa (forthcoming) which is the first book of its kind, and covers two international policy cases: The Liberian Crisis, and the African Exclusion Measure, where Washington proves himself to be an adept Pan-Africanist and negotiator for African people.  This book establishes that Booker T. Washington belongs amongst the canon of Pan Africanists that shaped the 20th century, therefore the discourse and narrative on Booker T. Washington has shifted.  CLICK FOR MORE About Author: Tyrene Wright PhD., is a scholar, human rights activist, producer, poet and founder of African Women for Africa, an international non-government organization.

It's never been clearer that now is a crucial moment for the global environment and that how we address this moment in our history will impact the future human experience on our planet, especially in the case for Africa and it's precious wildlife. Guillaume has decided the best way to communicate and bring these problems to international attention is to undertake a systematic visual record of the continent's vanishing wilderness, documenting how man is erasing 300 million years of evolution for personal gain, “Only 50 years ago man had to be protected from the beasts; today the beasts must somehow be protected from man.” These words, written back in 1965, never sounded truer than they do today. Yet when Peter Beard first expressed these concerns forty-five years ago, he would not have guessed how bad things would become for Africa's wildlife and its habitat.
