Podcasts about njinga

From warriors to tyrants and everything in between, the lives and reigns of Africa's female and genderqueer rulers have long been shrouded in mystery, misunderstanding and misogyny. We're joined today by Paula Akpan to discuss several of these people, including Njinga of Ndongo and Ranavalona I of Madagascar. Paula's new book, When We Ruled: The Rise and Fall of Twelve African Queens and Warriors, is now available!

Today's episode of the Black History Unveiled podcast is about one of pre-colonial Africa's most famous regents. A woman who, for several decades, resisted Portugal's attempt to conquer her country. A woman whose actions throughout history have been both demonized and glorified. Today's episode is about Njinga – the mother of Angola – and the woman who, in the 17th century, was prepared to do everything to avoid losing her country. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week, historian and author Valorie Castellanos Clark is covering the incredible warrior queen Njinga of Ndongo and Matamba, a woman who resisted Portuguese colonization of her homeland for decades.

Mettre en avant les histoires de femmes qui ont marqué et continuent d'influencer le continent africain, c'est l'objectif du podcast KaBrazen, au Kenya. Pensé pour les enfants de 4 à 10 ans, il jongle entre faits historiques et fiction pour raconter les vies de femmes africaines. Les épisodes sont disponibles en anglais et en kiswahili. Derrière les textes, trois artistes kényanes et leur studio, LAM Sisterhood. Le résultat : des épisodes mélangeant narration et musique.  De notre correspondante à Nairobi,La combattante anticolonialiste kényane Mekatilili wa Menza, la reine Njinga en Angola ou encore la poétesse burundaise et militante des droits humains Ketty Nivyabandi, chaque épisode de KaBrazen explore la vie d'une femme africaine qui a marqué le continent, qu'elle soit une contemporaine ou une figure historique. Une façon de mettre ces femmes en lumière. « Je ne demande qu'à ce que l'on me prouve le contraire, mais à ce jour, je n'ai pas trouvé de programme scolaire qui mette en avant le point de vue des femmes africaines, explique Anne Moraa, une des autrices du podcast. Pour moi pourtant, et pour notre collectif LAM Sisterhood, c'est essentiel, car nous sommes nous-mêmes des femmes africaines. Regarder notre Histoire à l'échelle mondiale et avoir l'impression de ne pas exister, c'est fou. Nous voulions rendre accessibles ces récits pour les enfants à travers le monde. »  « Beaucoup d'histoires de ces femmes sont difficiles à trouver »Aux origines de KaBrazen, il y a une pièce de théâtre que LAM Sisterhood a monté pour présenter des histoires de femmes. Puis l'envie est venue de les raconter aux enfants. Si le projet est éducatif, il doit aussi rester divertissant. Les épisodes mélangent aussi bien des faits historiques que des éléments de récits, de mythes, de légendes et des chants.« Beaucoup d'histoires de ces femmes sont soit difficiles à trouver, car elles n'ont pas été archivées, soit elles ont été confinées à des espaces académiques, soit elles ont été racontées par des personnes qui ne nous représentent pas, analyseAleya Kassam, une des femmes derrière le podcast. Donc nous comblons les manques avec notre imagination. Il faut garder en tête que nous nous adressons à des enfants de 4 à 9 ans. Il faut réussir à transformer des notions très complexes, comme le colonialisme, en histoires que les plus petits peuvent comprendre. C'est là que l'imaginaire joue un rôle. »À lire aussiNEWSLETTER RFI CULTURE : Ne manquez pas les meilleurs reportages et idées d'une actualité culturelle internationale qui n'oublie pas l'Afrique.Les histoires sont racontées par un personnage nommé Aunty Shishi. Laura Ekumbo lui prête sa voix. C'est la dernière membre du trio de LAM Sisterhood. Elle le reconnait, choisir les portraits de femmes n'est pas chose facile : « Ce qui était important pour nous, c'était d'abord d'avoir une diversité géographique, c'est-à-dire que les épisodes représentent les femmes de plusieurs pays du continent. Et puis nous avons aussi voulu une diversité en termes d'expériences, d'histoires, de façon à ce qu'un maximum d'enfants y trouve un intérêt. »À travers KaBrazen, Anne, Aleya et Laura espèrent inspirer les plus jeunes. Le trio rêve de voir les épisodes traduits en plusieurs langues parlées sur le continent.La deuxième saison est en cours de diffusion. Les épisodes sont disponibles sur l'ensemble des plateformes de podcast et sur le site du podcast. À écouter, notre podcast sur les questions de genre dans les sociétés contemporaines africaines Bas les pattes !

The idea of “Western civilization” looms large in the popular imagination, but it's no longer taken seriously in academia. In her new book, The West: A New History in Fourteen Lives, historian Naoíse Mac Sweeney examines why the West won't die and, in the process, dismantles ahistorical concepts like the “clash of civilizations” and the notion of a linear progression from Greek and Roman ideals to those of our present day—“from Plato to NATO.” Through biographical portraits of figures both well-known and forgotten—Herodotus and Francis Bacon, Livilla and Phyllis Wheatley, Tullia d'Aragona and Abu Yusuf Yaqub ibn Ishaq al-Kindi—Mac Sweeney assembles a history that resembles less of a grand narrative than a spiderweb of influence. Successive empires (whether Ottoman, Holy Roman, British, or American) built up self-mythologies in the service of their expansionist, patriarchal, or, later, racist ideologies. Mac Sweeney joins the podcast to talk about why the West has been such a dominant idea and on what values we might base a new vision of contemporary “western” identity.Go beyond the episode:Naoíse Mac Sweeney's The West: A New History in Fourteen LivesWe have covered Greece and Rome in previous episodes, as well as Njinga of AngolaIn our Summer 2023 issue, Sarah Ruden considers how modern biographers distort VergilTune in every week to catch interviews with the liveliest voices from literature, the arts, sciences, history, and public affairs; reports on cutting-edge works in progress; long-form narratives; and compelling excerpts from new books.

Ethiopia's Taytu Betul and Angola's Queen Njinga live large in their countries' historical memory as strong female leaders, and both embody the complicated power dynamics of their times. Just how did Taytu Betul help face down a European invasion? And why were Portuguese colonialists forced to talk with Queen Njinga on equal terms? Cai and Laila bring you their remarkable stories.

Det nya avsnittet av Svart historia-podden handlar om en av det förkoloniala Afrikas allra mest berömda regenter. En kvinna som i flera decennier stod emot Portugals försök att erövra hennes land. Det är en kvinna vars aktioner genom historien både har demoniserats och romantiserats, och som vanligt hittas sanningen antagligen någonstans i mitten. Dagens avsnitt handlar om Njinga – Angolas moder – och kvinnan som på 1600-talet var beredd att göra allt för att slippa ge upp sitt land. Hosted on Acast.

Queen Njinga, the 17th-century ruler of Ndongo and Matamba, in modern-day Angola, established an impressive reputation for her skills as a warrior and diplomat. At a time when Portuguese colonists were ramping up operations in the region, Njinga had to fight tooth and nail for survival, and make difficult decisions to protect her people. Luke Pepera tells Kev Lochun more about this formidable leader, whose story has been brought to life in a new Netflix docu-drama, African Queens. Learn more about your ad choices.

The former police officer, Wayne Couzens, who raped and murdered Sarah Everard two years ago, has admitted three counts of indecent exposure, one of which happened just four days before he kidnapped and killed Sarah Everard. Now academics and criminologists are calling for a change in the way indecent exposure is seen – saying we need to stop the perception of it as a so-called ‘nuisance offence' and take it more seriously, as in some cases it can lead to far more serious crimes. Nuala talks to BBC's Home Affairs correspondent, Dominic Casciani and Jennifer Grant from the University of Portsmouth. What are your thoughts on children's sleepovers? Are they a rite of passage or just a big headache? Well, #nosleepovers was trending on social media recently after an American influencer and mum of two, Tara Huck, shared her unpopular parenting opinion: she doesn't allow her children to attend sleepovers. When Netmums did a poll of their UK parents - 63% said they ban sleepovers. So is it the end for sleepovers? Victoria Richards is Editor of Indy Voices at the Independent and hosts multiple sleepovers a year, whereas parenting columnist for Velvet Magazine, Emily Martin, is trying to avoid them for as long as possible. A new Netflix series from Executive Producer Jada Pinkett-Smith is out today, telling the stories of African Queens. The first focuses on Queen Njinga, a powerful woman who led Ndongo – modern day Angola – through the slave trade and invasions by the Portuguese. To find out more about Njinga, and why it's so important to hear her story, Nuala McGovern is joined by one of the writers and former British High Commissioner to Mozambique, Nne Nne Iwuji-Eme. Scientists say that an on-demand, non-hormonal contraceptive pill for men may be a real possibility after successful trials stopped sperm from being able to swim. Tests in mice suggest that it stuns sperm long enough to stop them from reaching the egg. Further tests are needed, but if successful, it could provide a reliable oral contraception. Michelle Roberts is the BBC's Digital Health Editor. The republican Nikki Haley has announced that she will be running for president next year in the US. She's the first Republican to challenge Donald Trump for the party's presidential nomination. Nikki Haley first made her way onto the political scene back in 2010, when she became the youngest governor in the USA at the age of 39, securing a victory against an all-male field to become South Carolina's first female and Asian-American governor. Since then she has been hailed as a rising star who could potentially change the Republican party's male-dominated image. So what does this announcement mean for American Politics? Daniel Lippman is a reporter for Politico covering the White House in Washington.

Conqueror. Drinker of blood. 17th century fashionista. Queen Njinga of Ndongo-Matamaba displayed unmatched ferocity as she fought the slave-trading Portuguese for control of modern Angola. One of the few women war leaders who was unafraid to get her hands really dirty, she arranged a "Red Wedding" and led men and women through arrow storms and musket fire over ravines, rivers, and fortress walls. Using religion to meld a coalition of Catholics, cannibals and ancestor-worshiping pagans, she built an army of 80,000 men and drove the Portuguese conquistadors to the brink of ruin.  Actor Nathalie Emmanuel joins father-daughter history team Jon & Emily Jordan to tell the story of Queen Njinga of Ndongo-Matamaba.

Greg Jenner is joined in 17th-century West Africa by Dr Daniel F. Silva and Athena Kugblenu to meet the warrior queen, Njinga of Ndongo and Matamba. One of the most formidable queens in history, Njinga lived a tumultuous life and was able to defy Portuguese colonial rule for decades. For such a successful ruler, not much is known about her. Much of what is said about her in European and Western stories paints a picture of a cold-hearted, bloodthirsty warlord. But how much of that is true?

Njinga, aka Nzinga, aka Ana de Sousa was one of the longest-reigning and most consequential monarchs in history. She ruled over Ndongo and Matamba (near modern-day Angola) for thirty-seven years and is an icon for women over age 40, queer people, and anyone who loves a fashion moment and a grand entrance.

Neste episódio, e visto que estamos a celebrar o mês da História Negra (Black History Month), viajamos até Angola do século XVII e falamos da famosa rainha Njinga, que resistiu à expansão portuguesa nos reinos de Ndongo e Matamba e se afirmou como uma figura central da história daquela região.

She is remembered and honored as the Warrior Queen of Angola. But the story of Njinga of Ndongo, one of the greatest women generals in history, is both dark and bloody – and it raises questions about who we choose to revere as a hero.Check the website: https://www.unknownsoldierspodcast.com/Social Media: https://www.facebook.com/unknownsoldierspodcast https://twitter.com/unksoldierspodMusic: Mirage by Hayden Folker | https://soundcloud.com/hayden-folker Music promoted by https://www.chosic.com Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported License https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en_US

Wir springen in dieser Folge nach Südwestafrika. Es ist das 17. Jahrhundert, und im Gebiet des heutigen Angola ist eine Frau an der Macht des Königreichs Ndongo, die alles daran setzt, dieses Königreich vor den Portugiesen zu schützen. Wir sprechen über diese Monarchin, Njinga Mbande, die es mit sowohl kriegerischem als auch diplomatischem Geschick schaffte, ihr Königreich nicht nur gegen die Kolonialmacht Portugal, sondern auch gegen die umliegenden Königreiche zu verteidigen. Das erwähnte Buch von Linda Heywood heißt "Njinga of Angola". Das Episodenbild zeigt Njinga in einer Lithographie aus dem 19. Jahrhundert.

In this week's episode, we cover two pretty badass women. Katie shares the story of Njinga. Cindy shares the story of Buffalo Calf Road Woman. We also discuss gender reveal parties in current events. Cheyenne and Lakota Women and the Battle of the Little Bighorn:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpXTFdf66Go

Ignored in Western history, the seventeenth-century African queen Njinga was one of the most extraordinary rulers of the past. In an era dominated by men, she shattered gender roles through her political skill and military agility. After her rule was threatened in 1626 by the Portuguese, she transformed herself into a fierce slave trader and waged endless war against the colonizers. Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/thehumanityarchive)

On the very spot where the transatlantic slave trade began, in modern-day Angola, the most epic fight for liberation in our history was waged between the entire Portuguese Empire and one Black woman. Standing toe-to-toe. Them and her. Queen Nzinga. Say her name. We are the #daughters of Queen Nzinga Mbande. Queen of the Ambundu Kingdoms of the ruling family of Ndongo and great sovereign power of Matamba. Ohhh that’s delicious. Let it roll off your tongues: Nzzzzinga, Nzingha, Njinga. Her name alone defies the English alphabet, spelled differently across history. No matter how you spell her name, one thing is certain, trained in military precision and political warfare, young Nzinga defeated the colonizers, protected her people for 37 years, and set into motion a liberation movement that would ultimately defeat the colonizers. We will not be your slaves. Adjust your crowns queens, we’re going in. This is the greatest story never told.

In today’s episode, we are going farther back in time than any of our previous episodes, back to the foundations of the Transatlantic Slave Trade in Western Africa. We are not talking about a Capoeirista, we aren’t even talking about a Brazilian, but instead someone who is hugely important to the resistance of foreign influence to African nations and cultures. We are talking about Queen Njinga of Angola, a person who used every tactic available to her to keep her nation independent, and who’s legacy lead to the modern-day independent state of Angola. Angola is hugely important to Capoeira history and present-day culture, since the majority of the people stolen from Africa and brought to Brazil were from the region known as Portuguese Angola. The roots of many aspects of modern-day Capoeira are thus traced back to this region. Through this discussion, we will talk about how the Portuguese expanded into Western Africa, the methods Njinga used to resist them, and why Njinga’s image has needed to be rehabilitated in the way it has over the past few decades.Here's where you can find my reference for this episode:https://www.amazon.com/Njinga-Angola-Africas-Warrior-Queen/dp/0674971825As always, please send any questions/comments/stories to desconfiado.mandinga@gmail.com

Cecilia Düringer lär oss om drottningen Njinga, ett namn många kanske inte känner igen men som gjorde sig känd för att göra vad som helst för att få sin vilja och makt igenom. New York-korren Fernando Arias berättar mer om dödsskjutningen av Breonna Taylor och hur det påverkar presidentvalet i USA. Dessutom delas studion i två läger när frågan om frukt på pizza tas upp.

Krigardrottningen som gjorde allt för sitt rike och hårdnackat stod emot kolonialmakterna. Med list och skicklighet vann hon stora segrar i ett taktiskt spel men tvingades till eftergifter av fruktansvärt slag.

Njinga Mbandi (1582 –1663) vokser op i det sydvestlige Afrika, som i dag er Angola. Hun bliver dronning af de daværende Ndongo- og Matambariger og kæmper mod portugiserne som har skabt en koloni i byen Luanda. Historien om Njinga Mbandi er historien om modstand mod kolonisering og retten til at bestemme over eget land. Det er også historien om en kvinde, der kæmper med økser som barn, har utallige elskere og er en exceptionel god forhandler og strateg.

In this episode Henry and Josh dive into the elusive warrior queen that took on colonial powers and won, Queen Njinga of Angola.

Today, we bring you Queer As Fact's first African episode! Njinga ruled the nations of Ndongo and Matamba during the 17th century; was described by Portuguese colonists as "the most powerful adversary that has ever existed in Africa"; and is viewed as hero in modern-day Angola.

Arya Stark, c'est la fille du seigneur du Nord, déterminée à venger les membres assassinés de sa famille, qui manie très bien les armes. Elle a deux équivalents dans l’Histoire : Njinga, princesse guerrière d’Angola au XVIIe siècle pour sa combattivité, et Catherine de Médicis, reine de France au XVIe siècle, pour le courage et l'endurance. C'est parti !

The 17th Century Queen Njinga was among the most successful of Africa's rulers in resisting European colonialism: she defied no fewer than 13 different Portuguese governors of modern-day Angola and ruled the kingdoms of Ndongo and Matamba for over three decades. She was no ordinary person, the warrior Queen. She was a fearless fighter, a military strategist, often ruthless, a shrewd diplomat and an inspirational leader in a period of huge turmoil, shifting alliances and conflict. Her name still resonates throughout the region and she stands as a symbol of the continent's fight against oppression. Rajan Datar is joined by professor Linda Heywood, author of the first comprehensive biography of Njinga in English, professor Roquinaldo Ferreira whose many publications include studies of the frequent social and cultural exchanges between Brazil and central Africa; and one of the leading experts on west African economic history Dr Toby Green.

In February 2018, Year of Black Panther, we pay tribute by highlighting the many ferocious acts of Queen Njinga of Angola. Brave and fierce since birth, Njinga rose to power despite the Portuguese oppressors and spent most of her life waging a constant war for her land and her people. She kept harems of men, wasn't afraid to cut anyone's throat, and rejected traditional femininity, so we're basically obsessed with her. Also, a contest!

In the capital of the African nation of Angola today stands a statue to Njinga, the 17th century queen of the Ndongo and Matamba kingdoms. Its presence is a testament to her skills as a diplomat, warrior, and leader of her people, all of which she demonstrated over the course of a reign described by Linda Heywood in Njinga of Angola: Africa's Warrior Queen (Harvard University Press, 2017). The daughter of the Ndongo king Mbande a Ngola, Njinga grew up in a west central Africa that was facing growing encroachment by Portugal, who were major customers in the regions slave trade. Seeking to extend their control, the Portuguese challenged Njinga's succession to the throne in 1624, prompting a war that lasted for three decades. To persevere, Njinga had to navigate the complex politics of the region, gaining control of the Matamba kingdom and pursuing ties with both the Vatican and the Dutch to provide a counterweight to the Portuguese. The treaty signed with Portugal in 1656 was a testament to her success, allowing her to focus on establishing a legacy of an independent kingdom that she could pass on to her sister after her death.
