Show Notes

Did a PhD thesis from Oxford do more damage to British colonialism than a loaded gun? Welcome to a new episode of THE HISTORY OF THE CARIBBEAN. Today, we go inside the mind of the "Little Doctor," Dr. Eric Williams, the scholar-turned-statesman who led Trinidad and Tobago to independence.

In this deep-dive documentary, we explore the intellectual resistance that birthed a nation. From the archives of Oxford where he wrote the revolutionary Capitalism and Slavery, to the "University of Woodford Square" where he educated the masses, Williams dismantled the myths of the empire.
