RE: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Don Ohadike- Eight Years After

Oga Osia:

 

Thank you for this engaging reminiscing based on oral history. This is what a large number of historians of Africa, who visit Africa for say four weeks, colonize the best hotels, and hunt for colonial documents in "colonial" archives nursed by postcolonial governments to support their "homegrown" ideas, are missing in their works. May be we should go back to what Nkrumah did when he established the Institute of African Studies, University of Ghana at Legon: encourage scholars to collect and document oral history and oral traditions as sources of African studies, at least, to distill the hegemonic "colonial" sources.
