Jeremy Harding & Kevin Okoth: Analogue Africa

2 Jul 2026 · 58 min

In Analogue Africa, (Verso) essayist and LRB contributing editor Jeremy Harding explores the anti-colonial imagination through the works of African artists and film-makers, including Seydou Keïta, Sanlé Sory, Ernest Cole, Sarah Maldoror, John Akomfrah, William Kentridge and Binyavanga Wainaina.

‘In Analogue Africa, [Harding] is writing at the peak of his powers’, writes Adam Shatz, ‘eloquent, perceptive, attentive at once to questions of form and to the moral and political stakes involved in the creation of postcolonial culture.’

Harding was in conversation with Kevin Okoth, author of Red Africa and regular contributor to the LRB.
