Show Notes

Discover how Caribbean cultural icons fought back against state control. We explore the gritty history of resistance, from Marcus Garvey’s UNIA to the banned sounds of Reggae and Calypso.

In this episode of THE HISTORY OF THE CARIBBEAN, we break down the high-stakes conflict between grassroots heroes and political power. From the nineteen hundreds to the present, see how the state attempted to silence the voices of the people through prison, censorship, and institutionalization—and why they ultimately failed.
