About this listen
A groundbreaking exploration of 500,000 years of African history, cultures, and identity.
Historian, archaeologist, and anthropologist Luke Pepera takes us on a personal journey discovering 500,000 years of African history and cultures in order to reclaim and reconnect with this extraordinary heritage. He tackles the question many people of African descent ask—Who are we? Where do we come from? What defines us? And it explores how knowledge of this deeper history might affect current understandings of African identity.
Through thematically-linked chapters that explore aspects of African identity from nomadic culture and matriarchal society to beliefs about the afterlife and the tradition of oral storytelling, and interwoven with Luke's own experiences of exploring his Ghanaian family history and his personal questions of identity, this is a comprehensive, relevant, and beautifully told new history of Africa, and how it has shaped the world we know today.
