Today, we are ending our deep dive into “Islam, West Africa, and the Knowledge We Forgot” with a podcast episode from Dr. Wendell Marsh, Associate Professor of Africana Studies at Rutgers University- Newark. Dr. Marsh’s forthcoming book, Textual Life: Islam, Africa, and the Fate of the Humanities (Colombia University Press, 2025) is available for pre-order with the possibility for 20% off if you use the code, CUP20 at CUP.colombia.edu.
You all, this conversation with Dr. Marsh is not only enlightening in the scope of his study and intervention in African diasporic global thought but also challenges us to think about the role of the Humanities in ways that are critical in this political moment.
Enjoy!
