[Resource] BBC News – Audio slideshow: Mapping Africa

I just took a look at this and would recommend it for not only the content, but also as an inspiration for “powerpoint” presentations. It’s a multimedia showcase (they call it an “audio slideshow” which sounds too modest), a collaborative project of the BBC, Royal Geographical Society, with commentary on this archival collection from London-based African diaspora groups. Cliff Pereira and Zagba Oyortey, described on the site as “both African-born” talk about how the maps tell the story of a changing continent.
