## Resource

This is a fully remastered episode, which originally came out in April 2022 In this episode of Guerrilla History, we bring on the fantastic Africana studies scholar, Professor Takiyah Harper-Shipman, to talk about West African women's development, Sankara, AFRICOM, and more! Due to time constraints, this episode will act as an introduction to these topics for our next conversation with Professor Harper-Shipman, which will take place soon and will be a longer, more in-depth discussion. We really enjoyed the conversation, and are already looking forward to diving into the minutiae with the Professor very soon! Takiyah Harper-Shipman is an Assistant Professor in the Africana Studies Department at Davidson College. Her courses include Africana political economy, gender and development in sub-Saharan Africa, African feminisms, international development: theory and praxis, and research methods in Africana Studies. Her book Rethinking Ownership of Development in Africa is available from Routledge: https://www.routledge.com/Rethinking-Ownership-of-Development-in-Africa/Harper-Shipman/p/book/9780367787813 . We also highly recommend checking out her chapter La Santé Avant Tout: Health Before Everything in the excellent A Certain Amount of Madness The Life, Politics and Legacies of Thomas Sankara https://www.plutobooks.com/9780745337579/a-certain-amount-of-madness/ .
