The Vice-Chancellor and Principal of the University of Johannesburg, Professor Letlhokwa George Mpedi, invites you to a High Tea with the VC and a Book Discussion with Professor Adekeye Adebajo, on his latest work, The Splendid Tapestry of African Life: Essays on a Resilient Continent, its Diaspora, and the World.
“Over the past three decades, Prof Adebajo’s writings have proven to be extensively transdisciplinary, with roots in sociology, politics, economics, law, and culture and sport. The 10 sections of his new book range from serious topics such as pan-African struggles and Germany’s genocide in Namibia, to lighter topics such as African film and football. The figurative golden thread that ties the essays together is “the colonial slave trade legacy that created the Black Atlantic diaspora in Africa, the Americas, the Caribbean and Europe”.
