40:15Now PlayingWhat if a Black boy's story did not start with pain and end with death? What if it started with joy? Dr. Patrice Nganang grew up in Cameroon with 38 praise names, three mothers, and a father who worked in a library, and he wrote it all down. The west was not ready.
This week on OFFICE HOURS, Marc Lamont Hill sits down with poet, scholar, and exile Dr. Patrice Nganang, author of the new memoir Scale Boy, for a conversation that goes deep on childhood, colonialism, language, and what it costs to tell the truth about home.
