BBC Sounds Music Radio Podcasts

Hello and welcome to your Dead To Me, the Radio 4 comedy podcast that takes history

seriously.

My name is Greg Jenner, I'm a public historian, author and broadcaster, I was the chief

nerd on the BBC comedy show Parable Histories.

And today we are taking a trip back to 17th century West Africa to learn all about the

warrior queen who resisted Portuguese colonial rule for decades.

It is the inimitable, in Jinger, of Indongo and Matamba.

And a word of warning, this is not a jolly episode, there will be some content warnings

for violence and self-harm ahead.

We will give you those at the right times.

Right, let me introduce my guests in history corner.

He's an associate professor of Lusso Hispanic Studies and director of the Black Studies

Program at Middlebury College in Vermont, USA.

And he's the author of Anti-Empire, decolonial interventions in Lucifer and Literatures.

It's Dr. Daniel F. Silver.

Welcome Daniel.

Oh, thank you so much, Greg.

It's amazing to be on the program.

I just want to clarify for listeners real quick, I am not Daniel Silver, the spy thriller

novelist.

Oh, no.
