Ep. 160: A conversation with fellow Bamba Ndiaye and guests Sophia Denise Sow and Zachariah Mampilly about African activism

Fellow Bamba Ndiaye talks to two very exciting guests this week about political uprisings and social activism on the continent, from both activist and scholar perspectives. Sophia Denise Sow is a founding member of Senegal's Y'en a Marre movement and Zachariah Mampilly, cofounder of the Program on African Social Research (PASIRI) and the  Marxe Endowed Chair of International Affairs at the Marxe School of Public and International Affairs, CUNY.  In the news wrap, Rachel takes us through important updates about Senegal, including recent bans on protests in the country, a potential third-term run by Senegalese president Macky Sall, and more. Thank you to Margaret Rowley, graduate student at Boston University, for her translation and voiceover work for the episode.Find the books, links, and articles we mentioned in this episode on our website, ufahamuafrica.com.
