Welcome to Intelligence Squared, where great minds meet. I'm producer Layla Ishmael. Our seventh pick of the year is an event we staged in April with award-winning broadcaster, journalist and filmmaker Zaina Badawi. She was live on stage earlier this year to talk about her debut history. book, An African History of Africa from the Dawn of Humanity to Independence.
It is a fascinating history of Africa told through the voices of Africans themselves. Joining her to discuss it all is historian and broadcaster Kate Williams. Well hello everyone. So great to see you here on this sunny evening. Finally we have a summer
And um, I'm Professor Kate Williams, and I'm so thrilled to be here with Zaina Badari, whose book has been blowing my mind as soon as I received a copy of it. She is totally incredible. I don't know where she finds the time. She clearly has three clones of herself dashing all around the country and the world. She's an award-winning broadcaster, journalist, filmmaker, she's making a lot of films, she's interviewed some of the world's most notable personalities, politicians on BBC Heart Talk and hosting global questions on BBC World and BBC News Channel.
