Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
In the months following the 9/11 attacks, there was a lot of talk about “winning the war of ideas” in the Muslim world. But seven years later, some experts think that the cultural gulf between the U.S. and Muslim countries is wider than ever. We consider how to bridge that cultural divide and who should be involved in such a project.
