This article seeks to comment insightfully on the way things hang together as we try to chart the history of Africana philosophy. It does so through reflections on the History of Africana Philosophy podcast, part of Peter Adamson's larger series, the History of Philosophy Without Any Gaps . The article is divided into three sections, corresponding to the three parts of the podcast. Important to the first section is a reply to recent criticism by Olúfẹ́mi Táíwò of use of the term “precolonial” in discussions of Africa's history. The second section includes extended reflection on the special roles of Ethiopia, Haiti, and Liberia in the history of Africana philosophy. The final section explores the significance of writing, in an attempt to explain why the third part of the podcast, which covers the twentieth century, was lengthier than the other two parts of the series combined
