S1: E17 Djibril Tamsir Niane

Born in Conakry, Guinea, Djibril Tamsir Niane is the great specialist in mediaeval African history. His work enabled many oral sources, those of the griots, to be officially recognised. Thanks to them, he reveals the history of Sundiata, the emperor of the Malinke people who, in the 13th century, founded the empire of Mali. Man of letters, the works by Djibril Tamsir Niane remain a reference on the African continent. His immense work is deemed to have contributed to the decolonisation of historical imagination.
