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
