[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Kovie Biakolo, dives deep into our continental history and a possible future with authors Howard French and Kojo Karam.<\/p>\n

The history of Africa has long been relegated to the outskirts of our global story. However, in French\u2019s sweeping narrative, Africa and Africans are centred in a history that reframes the origins of modernity through the story of gold, tobacco, sugar and cotton, and the twelve million people who were brought in chains from Africa to the \u201cNew World.\u201d Author Kojo Koram tackles decolonisation, one of the great global changes of the past hundred years, in which Britain played a central role. In his book, he uncovers the scandals of Britain\u2019s colonial past and shows how far-reaching decisions made decades ago are contributing to the forces that are breaking Britain today.[\/vc_column_text]
