African Literary Podcast Episode 3

Where is home? If you have never lived where you were born, or your kids were born in a different country, or if you are a refugee or immigrant: where do you call home? A once simple question is tackled by four dynamic women who offer their own wisdom, humor and insights into this important question. And at the end offer a good piece of advice for all of us to consider.

Where are you from?

Do we need heroes? Is curiosity underrated? How do we hold space for those we disagree with? How are colorism and racism intertwined? How do we resist the myth of entitlement and privilege? What does the commodification of black feminism look like? What is our plan for justice? So many questions - and many complex, nuanced answers with the South African author and voice for justice, Sisonke Msimang whose writing focuses on race, gender and democracy. Her book - Always Another Country - can be found on Amazon and more about Sisonke's work is available at www.sisonkemsimang.com/. Up/Root is masterfully edited by Kate Stephens.

Live! With Sisonke Msimang, author of Always Another Country

Blogger and podcaster focused on African literature based in Nairobi, Kenya.
