About this episode
Armed uprisings across the Caribbean can often be portrayed as spontaneous and isolated events that were largely unsuccessful. In fact, these efforts have informed each other across time and can reshape how we think about imperial domination in Africa and across the Americas. The Christmas Rebellion, sometimes called the Baptist Uprising, is the largest rebellion in Jamaica's history, and it reveals the importance of continued resistance and pushes us to rethink what we call ‘successful’ revolts by the enslaved.
Writer and organizer Q. Anthony Omene joins us to discuss this and much more, in the first episode of Groundings season 4.
You will also hear archival audio from Walter Rodney, which can be found in full here.
