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.

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                                                                                                                                                                                        History Podcasts https://blog.feedspot.com/history_podcasts/ Caribbean History Podcasts https://blog.feedspot.com/caribbean_history_podcasts/ Caribbean Podcasts https://blog.feedspot.com/caribbean_podcasts/ History Podcasts For Historians https://blog.feedspot.com/history_podcasts_for_historians/   Follow: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/berkshirehalleppingpress/ Morning Journal Link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CXMTL3NV Genealogy Workbook: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09NRHG3M3 Prayer Journal: https://a.co/d/bfSdIl0 Devotional Journal: https://a.co/d/8K3C8Hk Support The Podcast https://ko-fi.com/disafimihistory/tip Great Research Resource https://www.ancestorsofparadise.com/ Clothes https://effystyle.goaffpro.com/ Reservations for Barbados https://diaspora-discoveries.com/reservations   Theme Music "Africa" is modern ethnic track with fresh chords, African vocal, orchestra.

Welcome to the Dis A fi mi History Podcast, where host Wendy Aris dives deep into the cultural and historical legacy of the Caribbean through enlightening conversations. In this fascinating episode, Wendy sits down with Teddy Mack, a master's student at SOAS University, to explore the intricacies and significance of Vincentian Creole, an English-lexified Creole language. Born in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Teddy Mack shares his journey of rediscovering his linguistic heritage, shedding light on how Creole languages often regarded as 'broken English' are in fact fully-fledged languages deserving of recognition and pride. He discusses the historical evolution of St. Vincent Creole, its influences from African and European languages, and the importance of preserving this unique language as a critical part of Vincentian identity. Tune in to understand the vital role language plays in connecting the diaspora to their roots and the ongoing efforts to document and promote Vincentian Creole. This episode is an eye-opening exploration of the power of language in preserving cultural identity and heritage.
