Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Every year, immigrants and immigrant diasporas send billions of dollars from the U.S. and other developed economies to the developing world. But cheap airfare and technological advancements are also allowing them to send back ideas about politics, governance, and identity. Kojo explores how immigrant communities are influencing political institutions in their countries of origin.
