Gideon Jeph Wabvuta : Reframing Africa's Narrative (2)

We spend this episode considering and reassessing the contributions that Africa (and the Congo specifically) have made to the global “village” as discussed by Mvemba Dizolele, a writer, foreign policy analyst, and independent journalist who is also the author of the forthcoming biography: Mobutu: the Rise and Fall of the Leopard King (Random House UK). If you haven't heard last week's episode with this brilliant scholar, please do so now! And let us know what YOU think about "Black Panther" Dizolele's work and the African Diaspora's place in the collective Western Imagination.
