About this listen

In Search Of Black History with Bonnie Greer brings you face-to-face with the people you never knew existed. People whose stories tell us a different tale about who we all are. From the earliest glimmerings of modern humanity, up to the present day, Bonnie Greer uncovers the lives of people of African descent that don’t fit with the accepted history of Western Civilisation we’ve traditionally been taught. From saints, to philosophers, to warrior women and king’s heralds - these people’s lives have been lost, hidden and distorted down the centuries. We’ve lost the full richness and complexity of our shared histories - it’s time to fill in the gaps.

In this eight part series, playwright and former Trustee of the British Museum, Bonnie Greer, travels with us through the ages, meeting the academics and experts who are uncovering these stories at the cutting edge of historical research, and she brings their subjects’ lives to life - with an imaginative re-telling of their stories.

My only wish is that it was longer so there had been time to focus more on ancient and modern African history too.

Brilliant

Really enjoyed this series which was very well investigated. Some I knew about, a lot was new and it was fascinating how modern scientific methods including DNA can be used to build up a picture of people who lived centuries ago.

Fascinating.

I’ve been practicing the law of attraction for a number of years now but seemed to have lost my way. This book came into my life at the right moment, it was a complete reminder of everything I needed to hear and brought me back to basics. I really enjoyed it!

Loved this book

It was a combination of the Titanic and the intensity of Saving Private Ryan with the duration and drama of the Titanic. A cliff hanger and at times confusing to follow. Ended abruptly as if I’d fallen off my chair following a long snooze. I couldn’t relate but this is because I haven’t been in a violent relationship. I was nieve to think it may have projected a positive image of a genuinely loving, sincere, honest and devoted husband.

I need therapy having listened to this!
