Welcome to Intelligence Squad. Where great minds meet. I'm producer Mia Saranti. Our guest today is Mina Salami. The feminist author, social critic, and current programme chair at the New Institute.

Her first book was Sensuous Knowledge. A black feminist approach for everyone. And her writing can be found in The Guardian, Project Syndica, Al Jazeera, and The Philosopher. among many others. In her new book, Salami explores the question, can feminism be African? Drawing from feminist thought, post-colonial theory, historical insights and African knowledge systems, Salami combines personal reflection with cultural criticism.

Offer a vivid and cohesive discussion about power identity. Patriarchy, imagination, and the human condition. Joining Salami to discuss the book is Hannah Dawson, historian of ideas and editor of the Penguin Book of Feminist Writing. Let's join Hannah now with more. Hello and welcome to Intelligence Squared.
