ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
"Each generation must, out of relative obscurity, discover its mission, fulfill it, or betray it" — Frantz Fanon.
What is our mission as the fourth generation of African leaders? Why and how can we participate effectively in the politics of our countries to bring about fundamental change? How can we employ the right ideological tools to understand Africa's political condition — and transform it?
Conscientize! seeks, through rigorous discussion and analysis, to answer these questions.
A podcast by The 4th Generation Initiative.
