Jeffrey Boakye

Jeffrey Boakye, a former English teacher and author, teams up with Tomiwa Owolade, a critic and writer, to tackle the heated debate on revising school curricula. They explore whether to maintain the traditional canon of great white men or shift towards a more inclusive selection of diverse authors. The discussion covers the historical roots of Eurocentrism in literature, the implications of cultural dominance, and the need to balance artistic merit with representation. Their insights challenge listeners to rethink what constitutes greatness in literature.
