Welcome to the Dis A fi mi History podcast! In this episode, host Wendy Aris delves into a compelling conversation with Dr. Gnimbin A. Ouattara, a Fulbright Scholar from Côte d'Ivoire and a Professor of History and International Studies. Together, they explore the overlooked narratives surrounding the birth of the Transatlantic Slave Trade between 1421 and 1441. Dr. Ouattara shares insights into his research on the Portuguese expeditions along the African coast, shedding light on the pivotal role played by Prince Henry the Navigator in initiating this dark chapter of history. The discussion also challenges widely accepted perspectives, such as the Curse of Cain narrative, which has been historically used to justify slavery. This episode invites listeners to critically examine historical narratives and encourages a deeper understanding of how the past continues to impact the present.
