Show Notes

From Ash to Island: How Volcanoes Forged Caribbean Civilization examines the Caribbean not as a passive paradise, but as a region born from geological violence and shaped by constant environmental risk. The series traces how volcanic forces created the island chain, how early Indigenous societies learned to survive on unstable ground, and how this relationship between land and people produced resilient, adaptive cultures. Fire, ash, collapse, and renewal are treated not as background events, but as the central pressures that defined settlement, food systems, trade, and identity across the Caribbean long before colonial contact.
