On January 27, Prof. Jelani Cobb, Director of Columbia's Lipman Center for Journalism and Civil and Human Rights, was joined by Prof. Howard French to discuss his new book, "Born in Blackness: Africa, Africans, and the Making of the Modern World, 1471 to the Second World War": an examination of how the contributions of African countries and culture to the modern world have been overlooked in history
Founded in 2017, the Ira A. Lipman Center at Columbia University supports, funds and produces journalism focused on civil and human rights. Our objective is to further journalism’s capacity to diminish human inequality by shedding light upon the ways in which it is perpetuated. The Lipman Dialogues are part of that mission. They are succinct, timely discussions with people at the center of issues relating to civil and human rights. Each dialogue focuses upon a single issue and a single journalist, activist, political figure or changemaker connected to it. We hope that by presenting these dialogues we will equip our viewers not only with an understanding of the urgent issues confronting us but also what can be done to address them.
I’m also obsessed with this book, Born in Blackness. If everyone read this book, the willful ignorance about Black people, history and racism would have to dissolve. Or at least, it would be unmasked. I love French’s project to ‘write Africa back into history.’ Thank you!
I'm obsessed with this book. I love his love deep scholarship of African history. I have always been proud of being a Yoruba descendant. We were taught by our Cuban father the details of our rich religion and the Yoruba kingships. We Cubans love our African heritage.❤️ Watching from Rome 🇮🇹🇨🇺
Can't wait to read this book!
We have to take charge of our own story because if someone else is telling our story, then they will say it their own way. Thanks for rewriting this African story Prof. French.
Gracias so much. 💓 love the book and enjoyed sharing this book with my adult daughters ❤️ 💕 who are loving learning that our history and heritage is beautiful 🇵🇷 🇵🇦 🇯🇲
Currently reading this book and can’t put it down!
Enjoyed!
This was an maxing interview! I wish that I could talk with Dr. French. I want to know why didn’t the Africans stop the trade?
I don't understand the 500 page comments that I heard on a few of these interview ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
just read a few hundred pages, then put a book marker ion and come back later and read some more, it's not like it the last book they ever read🧐
"The institution of slavery" was not a Portuguese invention, since ancient times all civilisations had slaves.
I am sure this book is filled with facts blurred by a distorted romantic bias made for AA consumption.
American education about history is plagued with this types of propaganda, and books like these are like one step forward but two or three backwards.
