  • Summary

  • This is the Age of Enlightenment - a revolution in thought which told people “dare to think for yourself”. But it’s also the era when the Transatlantic Slave Trade transformed the globe. Bonnie meets an African philosopher living in Germany who challenged both the gods of Enlightenment philosophy, and took on slavery itself.

The series of podcasts is an introductory survey

While it's wonderful to share Bonnie Greer's excitement as she interviews experts and views artifacts, it's also very frustrating that this series does not include supplementary materials. This series positively cries out for a means of further reference where listeners can look up reliable sources. Much of the material is well known to archaeologists, historians, etc. but, as Greer correctly notes, these stories are not included in general education despite their importance.
