Sounds About Right: Audiobooks to Help Us Understand the World

In this episode, I sat down with Astrid and Chinny, they are the authors of the book It's a Continent: Unravelling Africa's History One Country at a Time
Some of topics in the episode we discussed includes:

• What influenced their decisions regarding the topics they wanted to write about for each country
• Whether their views on countries such as the UK, France and Belgium has changed since starting their podcast as well as writing the book
• The impact the Berlin Conference in 1884 had on the African Continent with its disregard of existing ethnic groups.
• Since the independence of most of the countries in the continent following World War II, can any of them truly say they are independent?

The Book and Audiobook: It's a Continent: Unravelling Africa's History One Country at a Time is out now.
