Where is Africa Headed?
Origins: Current Events in Historical Perspective - May 28, 2016
Sub-Saharan Africa is one of the world’s fastest-growing and most diverse regions—and also one of the most misunderstood.
On this episode of History Talk, scholars Ousman Kobo, Amy Pate and Amanda Robinson discuss ethnicity, nationality and religion in contemporary African societies.
Putting the emergence of religious extremism in a broader perspective, these experts highlight regional variations, historical developments and the social and economic trends that are rapidly changing the face of the continent.
