Night Waves
30 May 2005
Does the current focus on Africa in the arts and media manage to slip the shackles of traditional European ways of thinking about Africa, or are we still continuing the anthropological engagement with Africa that grew alongside British colonialism?
In a special programme, Philip Dodd and guests explore how anthropology grew out of Europe's engagement with Africa and how much our view of the continent has been and is still shaped by this discipline.
