Documenting the history of Africa Is A Country: An Interview with Professor Sean Jacobs (Part 1)
In this episode I interview Professor Sean Jacobs, founder of Africa Is A Country on the history of setting up this platform that has promoted pan-African digital intellectualism for over a decade. We talk through his impetus for setting up the platform as a South African given the often insular nature of South Africa’s content and knowledge production, and politics. We also talk about some precursors to digitality, like Dstv, which fomented inter-African cultural exchanges through the media.
