Intro to African Revolutions and Decolonization w/ Leo Zeilig [Remastered]

In this episode of Guerrilla History, we first provide a small bit of information about the retribution that friend (and future guest) of the show Momodou Taal is facing from Cornel University for standing in solidarity with Palestine in the face of the ongoing Genocide, before releasing a fully remastered edition of one of our very first episodes, the nearly 4 year old survey on African revolutions and decolonization movements we did. We still have our ~35 part series on African Revolutions and Decolonization upcoming imminently, so this past episode can serve as a sort of a first precursor/prelude to those coming episodes, and we can call back to this episode for the broader regional/continental historical context. For this herculean task, we brought on Leo Zeilig, an editor of the Review of African Political Economy, a senior research fellow at the Institute of Commonwealth Studies at the School of Advanced Study University of London, and an Honorary Research Associate at the Society, Work and Development Institute (SWOP) at the University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa.

Leo's books include Thomas Sankara, Frantz Fanon: Philosopher of the Third World, African Struggles Today: Social Movements Since Independence, and Congo: Plunder and Resistance. You can find his website at https://leozeilig.com/ and follow him on twitter @LeoZeilig. Also, follow the Review of African Political Economy on twitter @ROAPEJournal and their website https://roape.net/ .
