Lumumba’s Africa focuses on the past and current issues affecting the African continent; Filmed amidst the beautiful landscapes of Kenya and hosted by Professor P.L.O. Lumumba, the show looks at the many dichotomies of Africa: why are some of the economies thriving while others stall; why conflicts emerge and refuse to die down, and why despite colonialism being ‘gone’, it still ruins the prosperity of nations.
The powerhouses of Africa
Professor P.L.O. Lumumba welcomes you back for another episode of Lumumba’s Africa. This week, we shift our focus from historical narratives to the dynamic engines driving the continent’s present and future.
African diaspora: Asia
On this episode of Lumumba’s Africa, we journey far beyond the well-trodden narratives of the Atlantic slave trade to explore a history often overshadowed: the vibrant, complex, and enduring story of the African Diaspora in Asia.
African diaspora - Europe
In this episode of Lumumba’s Africa, Professor turns his gaze northward, across the Mediterranean, to unravel the complex tapestry of the African Diaspora in Europe. Join us for an essential exploration of history, identity, and resilience.
Hunger
On this episode of Lumumba’s Africa, Professor confronts a devastating paradox: the persistence of famine on a continent of immense agricultural abundance. This solutions-focused lecture will redefine the crisis and challenge the world’s perceptions.
African constitutions
In this episode of Lumumba’s Africa, the professor looks at the formation of various national constitutions in the post-colonial era of Africa. We look at how the process went through various iterations and how different nations approached the matter.
Conflict Mozambique
In this episode of Lumumba’s Africa, the professor looks at the tragic history of the conflict in Mozambique: the causes, the pretexts, and the consequences. A bloodshed scramble between ISIS and various political forces put the country on the brink of the catastrophe – and yet, as the professor explains – there’s a light at the end of the tunnel.
