Arming Black Consciousness in Southern Africa with Toivo Asheeke
Welcome to the second episode of our Pan-Africanism series, our guest today is Dr. Toivo Asheeke who is a scholar-activist and author of “Arming Black Consciousness: the Azanian Black nationalist tradition and South Africa’s Armed Struggle.” In this episode, we discuss the armed liberation movements in Southern Africa, diving into Azanian Black nationalism, the black consciousness movement, and how they contributed to the liberation of southern African countries from Portuguese colonialism and white settler rule. This is an extremely fascinating era in African history that is essential for us to learn from as Pan-Africanists united in the shared objective of continental and diaspora unity and liberation. We have some more interviews and events on Pan-Africanism planned so please tune in for more if you're interested, or reach out to find out how to get involved with our organization.
