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.

048: Responding to “Black Panther” and Mvemba Dizolele, Reframing Africa in our Imagination and Minds

We spend this episode considering and reassessing the contributions that Africa (and the Congo specifically) have made to the global “village” with 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). In the wake of “Black Panther”’s mainstream success globally, many are asking questions like “What would Africa look like without colonization?” “What would the Western world look like without slavery?”, but as Mvemba discusses with Judithe, there are members of the African diaspora that didn’t grow up in the context of colonization and do see the contributions and importance of Africa in the development of the modern industrialized world. “We don’t reclaim them (these stories) to be in a fight with the West. But we reclaim them to put things back where they belong!” - Mvemba Dizolele
