Decolonizing the Mind
Manage episode 404186495 series 3322195
Colonization in Africa was much more than a land grab. It was a project to replace — and even erase — local cultures. To label them inferior. Music, arts, literature and of course language. In other words, it permeated everything. So how do you undo that? How do you unlearn what you’ve been forced to learn?
In this hour, produced in partnership with the Consortium of Humanities Centers and Institutes (CHCI) and Africa is a Country — we learn what it means to decolonize the mind.
Original Air Date: March 20, 2021
Interviews In This Hour:
Reckon with the Past To Decolonize the Future — Reclaiming the Hidden History of Blackness — Never Write In The Language of the Colonizer
Guests:
Adom Getachew, Simon Gikandi, Ngugi wa Thiong’o
