S2:E7 The King was Here…let’s Unpack this Visit

On this episode, we discuss the significance of King Charles visit to Kenya and how neo-colonialism persists and thrives at the seeming aid of African leadership. Fret not though, while leadership is the weakest link in the decolonial dialogue, artists and authors continue to push back and write alternative narratives. We share some of our reading recommendations that we feels challenge and push back against colonial narratives.


Books we mention:

1. Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe

2. It's a Continent by Chinny Ukata and Astrid Madimba

3. Africa is not a Country by Dipo Folarin

4. Uncommonwealth by Kojo Karam

5. Half of a Yellow Sun by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

6. Kintu by Jennifer Nansubuga Makumbi


We'd love for you to add on to this growing list.
