Greetings Toyin Falola,
A new item has been posted in H-Africa.
PODCAST: Refugees in African History (Africa Past and Present, Episode 121)
by Peter Alegi
Episode 121 of Africa Past and Present -- the podcast about African history, culture, and politics -- is now available at http://afripod.aodl.org, and wherever you like to get your podcasts.
In this episode, Bonny Ibhawoh (McMaster University; History) and Christian Williams (University of the Free State; Anthropology) discuss the importance of historicizing refugees in Africa. Looking at children evacuated from the Biafran War to Gabon and Ivory Coast, Ibhawoh explores the politics of "refugee" labeling. Williams's biography of a woman born in a SWAPO camp in exile in Tanzania shows how displaced people are agents of history, not just faceless victims. The interview ends with lessons for refugee crises today.

Africa Past and Present is hosted by Peter Alegi and Peter Limb and co-produced by Matrix -- the Center for Digital Humanities and Social Sciences -- and the Department of History at Michigan State University.
