151. James Lawrence (2017)

Empires in the Sun: The Struggle for the Mastery of Africa In this talk about the men and ideas that radically changed the course of world history, Lawrence James investigates and analyses how, within a hundred years, Europeans persuaded and coerced Africa into becoming a subordinate part of the modern world. The continent proved to be a magnet for the high-minded, the philanthropic, the unscrupulous and the insane. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
