This week on Ufahamu Africa we commemorate the start of Black History Month with a conversation with historian Dr. T.J. Tallie of Washington and Lee University. He shares insights from his research on settler colonialism in South Africa in the 1800s, connecting ideas and themes to the contemporary period. Our conversation with Dr. T.J Tallie begins at 7:05.
The two books T.J. mentions during our chat are Colson Whitehead’s The Underground Railroad and Yaa Gyasi’s Homegoing: A Novel.
Here are bonus links on what we are reading this week.
We’re very grateful to Zaza Kabayadondo for sharing her beautiful song “Thula Thula,” featured at the end of this week’s episode. The song begins at 23:57.
