Mount Misery Rebellion: Exploring the Forgotten 1639 Uprising of St. Kitts in Caribbean History

In this episode of the Dis A fi mi History Podcast, we delve into the near-forgotten 1639 uprising on St. Kitts, an important event in Caribbean history where over 60 enslaved people fled to Mount Misery, built a fortified maroon community, and resisted colonial power before facing brutal repression. This exploration of family history and spirit highlights how resistance is woven into the island's fabric. 
We also trace the ongoing spirit of defiance through a lone survivor’s legend and pivotal events like the 1834 general strike and the legacy of Marcus of the Woods, culminating in the island’s renaming to Mount Liamuiga. Join us as we uncover how these acts of courage have shaped Caribbean identity and continue to resonate today.

From Igbo to Jamaica: Archibald Monteath's Legacy and Colonialism

In this episode of Dis A Fi Mi History Podcast, host Wendy Aris delves into the extraordinary life and legacy of Archibald Monteath — a notable figure in Caribbean history, embodying the narratives of colonialism and resilience. Born in West Africa and sold into slavery in Jamaica, Monteath’s story reflects both the violence of colonialism and the indomitable human spirit. 
Monteath’s rare autobiography provides a first-person account of his capture, enslavement, conversion to Christianity, and eventual freedom, offering invaluable insights into family genealogy and heritage. As one of the few surviving written narratives of an enslaved African in Jamaica, his testimony opens an important window into questions of African identity, cultural survival, faith, and memory in the Caribbean. 
We discuss what his story reveals about the Igbo presence in Jamaica, the role of the Moravian Church, and how personal narratives like his shape our understanding of colonial history, slavery, and emancipation. 
This episode is essential listening for anyone interested in Caribbean history, African diaspora studies, family history, genealogy, or cultural heritage preservation.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Dr Maureen Warner-Lewis is a Trinidadian and Tobagonian academic whose career focused on the linguistic heritage and unique cultural traditions of the African diaspora of the Caribbean. Her area of focus has been to recover the links between African cultures and Caribbean cultures. Dr Warner-Lewis is now retired professor, interested in Caribbean literature, in socio- and creole linguistics, in history of the Black Diaspora.                                                                                                               https://www.amazon.ca/Archibald-Monteath-Igbo-Jamaican-Moravian/dp/9766401977

Through archival discoveries and personal reflections, we emphasize the vital contributions of Muslims to Caribbean history and the ongoing research that aims to reshape public understanding of this rich heritage.

Ireke: Rise of the Maroons – Exploring Caribbean History through Song and Spirit

Host Wendy Aris sits down with filmmaker Gbolahan Peter Macjob to explore Ireke, Rise of the Maroons — a powerful, language-rich film about the Maroon rebellion in 18th-century Jamaica. They discuss the film's use of Yoruba, Patois and English, its sound design and songs, themes of surveillance, betrayal, spiritual resilience, and the historic role of Nanny and the Maroons.
Through a blend of history and fiction the episode examines how small acts of resistance grew into organized rebellion, the film’s layered parables, and its call to reclaim African and Caribbean history and pride.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    https://irekemovie.com/                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Written and directed by Emmy-nominated BBC journalist Gbolahan (pronounced Bor-la-han) Peter Macjob                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    https://youtu.be/z5Lj-3-8azc?si=yOPCTlxYbn-DgYse

In this episode of the Dis A fi mi History Podcast, Maria Fernanda de Almeida examines the consequences of colonialism for the Garifuna people of St. Vincent, highlighting their mixed Indigenous and African origins, forced exile, and the spread of their culture across the Caribbean and Central America.
