Zeinab Badawi: The Waterstones Interview 

She is doing an awesome job and we Africans can't be happier for her great work

Afrikan Queen Zeinab, i have nothing much to say to you with the Interview and more the book (which i am obviously going to lay my hands on and keep for Generations to come). I am Lesotho Native who lived in London for 15 years and i used to watch your Series on Afrika, which really used to uplift and revive me because the Afrika you showed was the one i knew and beyond, not what the West have portrayed us and still continue to. I moved back to Lesotho August 2023, as i was tired of the way Motherland & her Children depicted and demonised. As a Pan Afrikan i felt that pain and obligation to come and Awaken and enlighten Afrikans back home ( as i learn from great Afrikans like you) of The Greatness of our Ancestors from back in Kemit, Until Moors & Westerner invasions/Slavery/Colonisation. Danko= Thank u= Kea leboha (in my language Sesotho)

Thank-you for your honesty . How refreshing to have an African perspective on this history. Long overdrew.

Thank you so much for writing this Lady Zeinab ❤

❤ Zeinab is a great journalist. As she was born in Juba, South Sudan, we are proud of her.

I am proud of you Zeinab, You are a great Sudanese African icon 🎉👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

I'm a huge fan of Zeinab Badawi. She's an African intellectual and the epitome of black excellence. A true Kushite Queen and Daughter of the Pharoahs. - Zambian Girl

Wooozas!!!

Yes zeinab badawi u are doing a great job we African are proud of you

These african intellectuals don't write or publish, that's the problem. As much I commend her work, an "african history" in 1 book is unfortunate and it is not on her, its the academics I blame. She is doing what she can.

Getting your work published in perr reviewed journals is difficult and expensive. This creates issues with those academicians with limited spurces of funding.

Her comment concerning the church setting up a reparations fund that people who benefitted from the slave trade can contributed to is ridiculous. The church can never undo or contribute enough money to correct what those priest, corporations, or individual families did. I hope her book discuss the damage the church did all across Africa and Diaspora around the world.

Zainab is amazing 🤩

You look like the true original Egyptian a true beautiful NUBIAN Queen 👸 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😂❤❤❤😂😂

She has got very insufficient knowledge on Africa, or she is so biased to some of…. one of the greatest war happened in Africa was the battle of Adwa, between the Italy and Ethiopia, in which Ethiopia defeated the Italy, and the role of queen Taytu in this battle was remarkable. This clever journalist was asked about for some of African heroes women,…. And….we know one thing about journalists, they are just a machine to fabricate a narration.

Wow this woman’s CV really belies her actual intellect. If you went to France you would in fact be able to read many books by French authors on English history. Try: Roland Marx, Bernard Cottret, Michel Duchein, Henri Sulamy, for starters. I guess not everyone’s elevator goes all the way up to ‘counterfactual transposition of third personal conditional’.
