In this episode of Dis a Fi Mi History Podcast, we dive into the profound impact of British parliamentary legislations on enslaved women during the 1700s and 1800s. I speak with Dr. Justine K Collins, a Legal Historian and Postdoctoral Researcher & Lecturer at SOAS University of London, Faculty of Law, who specializes in the intersections of colonialism and family history. Dr. Collins sheds light on the Barbados Slave Code of the 1660s, a pivotal piece of legislation that influenced family genealogy and the lives of enslaved women. Join us for an enlightening discussion that not only uncovers the legal frameworks of the past but also explores how these historical legacies continue to resonate within Caribbean heritage today.
