History is littered with devastating accounts of prejudice that shines a harsh light on the atrocities humans have inflicted on each other for centuries. But has racism always plagued our society? From the African son of Peter the Great of Russia, to the one-eyed black leader of the Kushite army – Warrior Queen Amanirenas, it seems skin colour presented no barriers for a person of African decent to amount to greatness in antiquity. In this episode, Tristan is joined by Luke Pepera who is a writer, broadcaster, anthropologist, and historian to talk about the attitudes towards race in the ancient world.
