I like maps. I especially like old maps. And I spend a lot of time in Africa. Combine all of these things, and you get this:
A very interesting BBC audio slide show that shows how old maps can chronicle the the history of the continent. Check it out.

Hi Jackie,
I stumbled across your blog while at work (I’m a recent college grad interning in South Africa for the time being). If you would send me an email (phillipdcohen@gmail.com), I’d love to ask you a few questions about your travels in Africa from before you headed to grad school. I noticed there isn’t any contact info on the site. In the meantime, take care and please keep linking interesting pieces like the one above.
