In this powerful episode of The International Book Show, host Makonnen Sankofa welcomes historian and author Simon Hudson for an illuminating discussion about Simon's two-volume work, History Through the Black Experience.

Hudson shares the vision behind his books, which re-center global history through the lives, struggles, and triumphs of African and African-descended peoples across continents and generations.

Hudson’s books explore ancient African civilisations, cultural brilliance, the impact of the transatlantic slave trade, colonial disruption, liberation movements, and the ongoing challenges faced by African societies and the diaspora.

Through this interview, Hudson highlights the resilience, innovation, and resistance that define the Black experience, while highlighting their relevance today.
