The Black History of France
Manage episode 285106211 series 2877619
In this episode, we feature Keví Donat, a French tour guide and founder of Le Paris Noir who provides, quote, “an alternative and authentic vision of” Paris, mainly through the lens of Black history, a perspective that’s often overlooked. In partnership with MIT-France they hosted a discussion on post-colonial France.
But the conversation didn’t end there. After the event our program assistant Brigid McMahon and Ari Jacobovitz spoke more extensively with Keví about the history of race, religion, and class in France, cultural identity, and so much more that we had to split the interview into two parts. Let’s get into the first half.
Also in this episode: Amy Vogel is an MIT 2020 graduate with two MISTI Israel internships under her belt and will move across the Atlantic to begin her post-grad life in the country. It’s one thing to spend 3 to six months abroad, it’s entirely another to relocate from your native country, but Amy is excited and ready to do it
