Unveiling Operation Legacy: The Hidden History of British Colonialism

Welcome to the Dis Afimi History podcast, where we explore the intricate connections between history and contemporary Caribbean life. In this episode, Wendy Aris is joined by Dr. Audra A. Diptée, an Associate Professor specializing in Africa and the Caribbean at Carleton University, to delve into the covert British policy known as Operation Legacy. This policy, carried out between the 1950s and 1970s, aimed to destroy or secretly remove colonial documents from 37 former British colonies, including those on the brink of political independence.
Dr. Diptée reveals the shocking extent of Operation Legacy and its impact on Caribbean nations' abilities to document their colonial histories. Together, they examine how this policy has influenced current understandings of history and the ongoing discussions surrounding colonial reparations and justice.                                                                                                                                                                  Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of the historical narratives that have been shaped by external forces and the efforts needed to decolonize Caribbean histories.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          BIO

From Saint-Domingue to Jamaica: The Refugee Experience

Welcome to the Dis A fi mi History podcast episode where Wendy Aris hosts Jannik Keindorf, a PhD candidate from the University of Tübingen, Germany. In this insightful dialogue, they explore the intricate historical narratives of political migrations across the Caribbean islands during the age of revolutions, focusing on Jamaica's role as a critical hub.
Jannik sheds light on his research within the ERC Project Atlantic Exiles, which delves into how Jamaica became an epicenter for refugees displaced by the American, Haitian, and Spanish-American revolutions. Together, they delve into his article that examines French emigrants and prisoners of war in Jamaica amidst the Haitian Revolution.
Listeners will gain an understanding of how historical labels such as 'emigrant' and 'prisoner of war' were employed during this tumultuous period and the implications these had on social perception and treatment of Haitian and French individuals on Jamaican soil. The conversation uncovers layers of social tension, cultural exchanges, and racial dynamics that have left lasting imprints on Caribbean history.
Join the discussion to learn about the historical influences that shaped the political landscape of Jamaica, traced through migration, societal response, and cultural intermingling across these revolutionary times.
