In this episode, Luke has a conversation with Professor of Southern European History at the University of Miami, Dominique Reill. In 2018, Reill was required to provide testimony at the murder trial of a Croatian historian after being falsely accused of luring him to the United States and away from his family. The New York City trial provided a glimpse into the lack of public understanding surrounding the roles and opportunities of modern historians. Also discussed are an array of topics stemming from the merits of nationalism and how it has developed in the Balkans, Italy, the former Habsburg Empire and more.

Akinwumi Ogundiran | Nigerian History, The Yoruba, and the Value of Heritage

In the very first episode of the MissedHistory podcast, Luke sits down with Professor Akinwumi Ogundiran to discuss his upbringing in Nigeria, the importance of tradition, and the long history of the Yoruba people (most of whom reside presently in western Nigeria, Benin and Togo). Ogundiran studied history in his native Nigeria before moving to the United States to receive his PhD from Boston University, in 2000. Since then, he has led or assisted in multiple West African archaeological projects and published a number of books on the region's history, while also teaching at the University of North Carolina. His 2020 book, "The Yoruba: A New History [https://www.amazon.com/Yoruba-New-History-Akinwumi-Ogundiran/dp/0253051495]," is one of the most thorough chronicles of the Yoruba people, to-date.
