made this cute video: my daddy talking to me about his father being kept and trained on a catholic missionary ship. 7 european colonial powers imposed their languages on almost all african peoples, eclipsing 2000+ distinct indigenous languages that i couldnt all fit on this piece of paper. i dream about talking to my daddy in igbo (gab aber in der siebten bei uns nur latein und französisch)
by the end of our conversation you can hear @diisloo (lob u) and her dad feli arriving. our dads‘ friendship is the cutest. as they have no other language in common, their highly political conversations are held in german and evolve around my dad fighting in the biafra war and their leftist opinions. (as to be expected the concept of elite closure in the african context was first defined and studied by a white american)
