In this episode of the Dis A fimi History Podcast, join host Wendy Aris as she engages in a profound conversation with historian Miki Garcia about the complexities of Caribbean Irish history. Dr. Garcia, a renowned author and educationalist with a PhD in Irish and British social history, shares insights from his book, "Being Irish: How the Slave Myth Was Made."
The discussion disentangles the often-confused narratives of Irish indentured servitude and African chattel slavery, unraveling inaccuracies that have perpetuated historical myths and contributed to modern misunderstandings. You'll learn how these misunderstandings emerged, their socio-political leverage, and how to navigate and verify ancestral stories responsibly.
Delve into the wider implications of misrepresenting indentured servitude as slavery and discover how accurate narratives can foster more inclusive and informed dialogues around racial justice, reparations, and historical accountability. Listen in for a compelling exploration that challenges entrenched myths and encourages a nuanced understanding of their impacts on both past and present. BIO After earning a master’s degree in journalism from City, University of London, Miki began her career as a journalist, covering a diverse range of stories across the UK, Rwanda, the Philippines, Thailand, Ireland, and the US. She has travelled to over 180 countries, embracing the richness of cultures and languages along the way. She holds a PhD in Irish and British social history. A best-selling author, scriptwriter, educator, and energy healer, Miki is driven by a deep curiosity about the world and a commitment to advocating for positive change. Through her writing, she continues to evolve, always striving to be the best version of herself for a better world.
