In this enlightening episode of Dis A fi mi History Podcast, host Wendy Aris welcomes Dr. Sharika D. Crawford, a renowned historian specializing in modern Latin America and the circum-Caribbean. Together, they dive deep into the intricate narratives of British West Indian migration to the Colombian islands of San Andres and Providence. Despite being underexplored, this historical movement highlights significant cultural and historical ties within the global South.

Dr. Crawford shares insights from her research on the unique migration patterns and the transnational identities forged among the British West Indians and the local communities of San Andres and Providence. The episode sheds light on the hidden histories of Caribbean migration that extend beyond popular narratives centered on North America and Europe.

Join us as we explore how these movements have shaped the cultural landscapes of the islands and continue to influence the identities of their descendants, underlining the enduring impact of history on present-day Caribbean people.
