In this episode of Dis a Fi Mi History, host Wendy Aris and guest Suleiman Bulbulia delve into the overlooked story of African Muslims in the Caribbean, with a particular focus on Muhammad Kaba Saganuhu — an enslaved scholar who penned a 50-page Arabic manuscript in Jamaica. This episode illuminates how themes of colonialism, Arabic literacy, faith, and cultural memory have influenced resistance, identity, and the broader Caribbean heritage. Through archival discoveries and personal reflections, we emphasize the vital contributions of Muslims to Caribbean history and the ongoing research that aims to reshape public understanding of this rich heritage.
