After almost three years spent working on Bristol's history and coming regularly to the city, after living in England for years and as a journalist who spent five years reporting in Europe and America then 7 years reporting mainly on and in Africa, I'm now more than ever involved in writing about the relations between Europe and Africa, between the Western World and the rest of the world.
My next contribution will be an 8-page article for a Canadian magazine about Bristol, its history and its Caribbean heritage.
Any contribution and insights are welcome.
Here is an event people reading this my be interested in:
BBC Radio 4 - Great Lives, with Matthew Parris, David Olusoga and Will Gregory in The Lantern, Colston Hall.
Join Matthew Parris at the Colston Hall on 9th November for a double bill recording of BBC Radio 4’s biography series Great Lives, to be broadcast later this year.
Historians David Olusoga and Madge Dresser discuss the life and legacy of Edward Colston, followed by Will Gregory from Goldfrapp and Carol Taaffe on Irish author Flann O'Brien.
Bring along a question to put to the guests.
Doors open at 12.30 to enable everyone to be seated and for recording to start promptly at 13.00.
This is a free event.
