Listen Later

With this episode of Guerrilla History, we officially launch our long awaited series on African Revolutions and Decolonization!  Every other week (between other, non-thematic episodes) for roughly the next year and a half, we will be turning a spotlight on struggles across the African continent, with both case studies as well as more theoretical or conceptual episodes present.  We could scarcely ask for a better guest to help us launch this series than our comrade Momodou Taal.  In this episode, we discuss the importance of studying African revolutionary history, and what we should be doing with this series.  Get excited, we certainly are! In addition, if you want to read Adnan and Henry's thoughts on this series, they introduced the series in a blogpost for the Review of African Political Economy last week.   Also subscribe to our Substack (free!) to keep up to date with what we are doing.  With so many episodes coming in this series (and beyond), you won't want to miss anything, so get the updates straight to your inbox.  guerrillahistory.substack.com   Momodou Taal is a British-Gambian PhD student at Cornell University studying African Political Economy.  He is host of the outstanding podcast The Malcolm Effect, and has a forthcoming book The Malcolm Effect Revisited, which preorders are open for.  Be sure to also follow him on twitter @MomodouTaal.
