À propos de cet audio

In Search Of Black History with Bonnie Greer brings you face-to-face with the people you never knew existed. People whose stories tell us a different tale about who we all are. From the earliest glimmerings of modern humanity, up to the present day, Bonnie Greer uncovers the lives of people of African descent that don’t fit with the accepted history of Western Civilisation we’ve traditionally been taught. From saints, to philosophers, to warrior women and king’s heralds - these people’s lives have been lost, hidden and distorted down the centuries. We’ve lost the full richness and complexity of our shared histories - it’s time to fill in the gaps.

In this eight part series, playwright and former Trustee of the British Museum, Bonnie Greer, travels with us through the ages, meeting the academics and experts who are uncovering these stories at the cutting edge of historical research, and she brings their subjects’ lives to life - with an imaginative re-telling of their stories.

Seriously, right now stop reading this post and just download and listen to the podcast. There is so much here that I wish had been included in other histories...times I stopped and relistened to parts as I wondered why this was not part of narratives I knew.

You will be introduced to people who will find a home in your heart and your brain and make you look both at the stories you know and objects you see in a new light.

The timeline; the interviews; all of it is expertly put together in a way which in truth refreshes and refocused me on the long fight for inclusion of more voices in dominate culture and conversation.
