Zeinab Badawi delves into the history of Africa in a brand new, eight-part series on BBC World News beginning 1 July 2017.

'The History of Africa with Zeinab Badawi’ is unique because it derives its inspiration and uses as the bedrock for its facts a series of volumes on Africa’s history, compiled by African scholars, in a project undertaken by UNESCO at the behest of Africa’s newly independent presidents starting back in the 1960s.

For the first series Zeinab travels to all four corners of Africa, interviewing historians, archaeologists, and citizens who paint a vivid picture of their continent's past and how that history informs their present lives. She begins the journey from the origins of humankind, through to the the next stage of our development, then to the ancient civilisations of Africa ending around the 13th century.

This groundbreaking series airs every Saturday and Sunday in July and August of 2017 on BBC World News.
