Colonization in Africa was much more than a land grab. It was a
project to replace — and even erase — local cultures. To label
them inferior. Music, arts, literature and of course language. In
other words, it permeated everything. So how do you undo that?
How do you unlearn what you’ve been forced to learn?

In this hour, produced in partnership with the Consortium of
Humanities Centers and Institutes (CHCI) and Africa is
a Country — we learn what it means to decolonize the mind.
