Christine Mhundwa, Abdulrazak Gurnah
Is there an alternative to humanity towards people in need? No, says book author and winner of the 2021 Nobel Prize in Literature, Abdulrazak Gurnah, in the podcast of The Africa Roundtable. Regardless of all resistance, “just keep going”.
In an interview with Christina Mhundwa, Gurnah talks about identity, flight and new beginnings, reparations and painful differences of Europeans when dealing with refugees from Ukraine and people from the Arab world.
