Dive into the complex tapestry of Martinique's history as we explore the racial dynamics and social hierarchies of the 19th century. Join Wendy Aris and Adélaïde Marine-Gougeon, a doctoral researcher at Sorbonne University, as they dissect the intricacies of racial mixing, identity, and the lingering impact of colonialism. Discover the untold narratives of white Creole families and the perception of race, exploring how historical events shaped present attitudes towards race and identity in the Caribbean.
Through this engaging discussion, learn about the persisting social hierarchies, religious influences, and the subtle challenges faced by mixed-race individuals navigating their identity. With a focus on racial boundaries and their reinforcement or dissolution through legal, social, and familial structures, this episode sheds light on the realities faced by various social groups in colonial Martinique.
