Episode Synopsis "When the Diaspora Return - Ghana, Nigeria, Liberia"

Today, we’re chatting about Ghana’s Year of Return in 2019 and the diaspora’s renewed desire over the last three years to ‘move back’ to the continent. Members of the diaspora have sought to leave the West in search of their homeland at various points over the past 400 years. Speaking with the knowledgeable Chris Ògúnmọ́dẹdé (@Illustrious_Cee), an editor at World Politics Review, we ask, what are the patterns which have emerged in this history, what are the lessons we need to learn and how can an imagined Africa negate the harsh realities of the geopolitical present?
