Welcome to the Dis A fi mi History podcast! In this episode, host Wendy Aris is joined by Dr. Lomash Roopnarine, a distinguished professor of Caribbean and Latin American history at Jackson State University, originally from Guyana. Dr. Roopnarine, a renowned author, delves into the impactful roles of East Indian women during their indentured servitude in British Guiana from 1838 to 1920.
The discussion sheds light on the largely overlooked history of East Indian women, who utilized their rare presence as a strategic advantage within the plantation system. Despite facing numerous challenges, including cultural and gender biases, and the oppressive structure of the plantations, these women carved out spaces of leadership and resilience.
Through engaging conversation, Dr. Roopnarine addresses the social, cultural, and religious frameworks that these women drew upon for support, highlighting their unseen contributions and leadership within the indentured communities. This episode offers a nuanced perspective into the unique historical narrative surrounding East Indian women's leadership and resilience.
Don't miss the insights into both archival research challenges and the modern-day implications of this historical period as we navigate the complex interplay of gender, culture, and power in the Caribbean colonial context.
