  • Resumen

  • In Search Of Black History with Bonnie Greer brings you face-to-face with the people you never knew existed. People whose stories tell us a different tale about who we all are. From the earliest glimmerings of modern humanity, up to the present day, Bonnie Greer uncovers the lives of people of African descent that don't fit with the accepted history of Western Civilisation we've traditionally been taught. From saints, to philosophers, to warrior women and king's heralds - these people's lives have been lost, hidden and distorted down the centuries. We've lost the full richness and complexity of our shared histories - it's time to fill in the gaps.

    In this eight part series, playwright and former Trustee of the British Museum, Bonnie Greer, travels with us through the ages, meeting the academics and experts who are uncovering these stories at the cutting edge of historical research, and she brings their subjects' lives to life - with an imaginative re-telling of their stories.

Excellent body of work!

I love this material in so many ways. I really enjoyed how Madam Bonnie Greer was able to articulate the deeply guarded emotions of the African American community. I also love the way there are so many references of notable Black figures throughout history from all around the world. This podcast will remain, as a compendium of Black royalty, in my library and in the world for all to acknowledge. This work keenly sheds light upon the void left behind within the core of an entire culture of people, Black people, as a result of colonialism. As a Black male musician, the artistic content and perspective truly touched my heart. Thank you Madam Greer! You are worthy and deserved of all the honor that is owed to you! Ashe!

Well worth the time...

...but a long way to go. The premise of the project is correct: Black history has been suppressed, ignored, and lost. In this book, many interesting historical cases were exposed and shared, beginning with Cheddar Man. But we can't generalize from these cases, as much as we want to. The questions raised in the final episode are apt and fair. Bonnie Greer's performance was outstanding: such a gifted playwright.

A must listen in these times!

Great storytelling in a podcast like format! You will learn about figures in history you never knew existed. I plan on listening again on repeat to absorb it all.

Educational and Encouraging

I found this series very educational and encouraging. if we could all open our minds an open up our histories and instead of trying to erase history actually bring in the rest of history so that all histories are included we could be I'm much more vibrant and integrated society.

Very Powerful and Educational

Although this series barely touches upon the history and contributions of African Americans in this country, it does give a rich and telling history of the African experience in other countries and through the ages.

Very Informative with a lot of scientific facts to back their affirmations.
