MOTHERLAND: 500,000 Years of African Culture & Identity

Leading historian, anthropologist and broadcaster Luke Pepera takes us back to explore fascinating figures from African history including Mansa Musa, the 14th century ruler of the Mali Empire and the wealthiest man who ever lived, and Kandake Queen Amanirenas, who defeated the Romans in Nubia. Through their lives and others he offers a revelatory new exploration of African culture and identity. One of the most exciting of a new generation of historians, Luke Pepera gives a dazzling talk based on his new book Motherland which is described by Tom Holland as ‘a masterful achievement’.

‘A wonderful debut by a talented and exciting young historian’, Peter Frankopan.
