How did Europe divide an entire continent without consulting its people? In this revealing episode of the Sankofa Pan African Series, we explore The Scramble for Africa—also known as the Race for Africa—when European powers raced to claim African territories during the New Imperialism period of the late 19th century.
Through the Berlin Conference of 1884–85, colonial borders were drawn with little regard for Africa’s diverse ethnic, cultural, and linguistic realities—setting the stage for decades of conflict and underdevelopment.
Join Dr. Bunmi Oyinsan as she unpacks how these artificial boundaries continue to impact modern African nations and why understanding this history is key to reclaiming Africa’s future.
