This episode traces the Caribbean’s entry into the twentieth century as a period of awakening rather than arrival. Between nineteen hundred and nineteen thirty nine, the region remains under colonial rule, but belief in the permanence of that rule begins to fracture. Old plantation systems adapt instead of disappearing. New industries rise without shifting power. Education expands without liberation. War, migration, economic collapse, and labor unrest combine to force awareness across islands once kept separate. The episode examines how pressure builds, how voices emerge, and how the nineteen thirties labor rebellions mark a turning point in regional consciousness. This is the story of a people who do not yet win freedom, but who learn they are not powerless.
