Since its founding in 1948, the Organization of American States (OAS) has served as the premier forum for advancing regional priorities facing the Western Hemisphere, becoming the oldest and only multilateral institution that provides a platform for dialogue and cooperation to all countries in the hemisphere. On March 10 of this year, the OAS member states elected Albert Ramdin, Suriname's former Foreign Minister, as the organization's new Secretary General, becoming the first Caribbean representative to head the organization in its history.   In this episode, Christopher Hernandez-Roy sits down with His Excellency Albert R. Ramdin, Secretary General of the OAS. Together they discuss the challenges and opportunities facing the OAS today, the Secretary General's vision for leadership, and plans for the organization. They also delve into the role of the OAS in Haiti, and how the organization can play a role in helping to stabilize the country's compounding crises.

Onze volgende bestemming in de Vroeg Wereldweek is Suriname. Afgelopen jaar bespraken we in Vroeg! de verkiezingsuitslag in Suriname, waar de eerste vrouwelijke president uit voortkwam. President Jennifer Geerlings-Simons en haar regering staan voor een grote uitdaging: er werd in 2024 namelijk een olieveld gevonden waarvan de inkomsten voor het land geschat worden op meer dan 16 miljard dollar. Kan Suriname onder haar leiding de corruptie die het land al jaren teistert de kop in drukken? Te gast: John Brewster, voorzitter van het Diaspora Instituut Nederland.

DEA and the Police in the Caribbean, Drugs, Violence. When most people imagine the Caribbean, they think of turquoise waters, white sand beaches, rum cocktails, and vibrant island music. The idea of violent crime, drugs, and federal law enforcement operations rarely comes to mind. But behind the postcard-perfect scenery, the Caribbean plays a major role in the global drug trade, and with it, comes a dangerous underworld of money, guns, and organized crime. In the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast promoted across their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. Retired DEA Supervisory Special Agent Jack McFarland knows this world all too well. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast interview, available for free on their website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and more podcast platforms. Jack spent over three decades in the trenches with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). From his early days as a football coach and teacher to chasing drug traffickers through the Caribbean, his story reflects the global reach of America's drug war, and the brave men and women fighting it on the front lines. Now retired and a keynote speaker, Jack shares stories from his work with the DEA, including international interdiction operations, violent shootouts, and the complex partnership between the DEA and the police in the Caribbean. Look for supporting stories about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . A Hidden Drug Highway in Paradise. DEA and the Police in the Caribbean, Drugs, Violence. “The Caribbean is beautiful, but it's also a major hub in the global drug trade,” Jack said during a recent appearance on the Law Enforcement Talk Podcast, available on Apple, Spotify, and major TV and podcast platforms. Much of the Caribbean lies along major smuggling routes between South America and the United States. Narcotics such as cocaine and heroin often move by sea, carried in everything from high-speed boats to drug submarines. Once in the Caribbean, the drugs are repackaged and rerouted, often with the help of armed criminal groups. Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other podcast platforms. As a Supervisory Special Agent with the DEA's Caribbean Division, Jack helped lead operations that intercepted everything from cartel-run aircraft to high-seas smuggling vessels. One of the division's most notable seizures came on March 31, 2014, when the Caribbean Corridor Strike Force (CCSF) intercepted a Zodiac-type vessel off Dorado, Puerto Rico. On board? Two Venezuelan nationals and 1,774 kilograms of cocaine. “These arrests are a clear indication of the continued success of the Caribbean Corridor Strike Force,” said Rosa Emilia Rodríguez-Vélez, U.S. Attorney for the District of Puerto Rico. “This is just another example of the fine work our state and federal law enforcement partners accomplish every day.” When Interdiction Turns Violent. DEA and the Police in the Caribbean, Drugs, Violence. Not all operations end smoothly. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on their website , Apple Podcasts , Spotify and most major podcast platforms. On November 17, 2022, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents engaged in a shootout while trying to intercept a suspicious vessel near Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico. As agents approached, a gun battle broke out, leaving one DEA partner agent dead, others wounded, and two U.S. citizens arrested after over 1,300 kilograms of cocaine were recovered. It's a grim reminder that the fight against drug trafficking in the Caribbean isn't just about seizures, it's a deadly, high-stakes war against violent criminals. The Broader Impact of Crime in the Caribbean Many are shocked to learn that the Caribbean is one of the most violent regions in the Americas. Fueled by transnational gangs, economic struggles, and a deterioration of social structures, violent crime has exploded in several countries. You can listen to his stories and interview on our website for free in addition to platforms like Apple Podcasts and Spotify, and other major podcast platforms. In Haiti, where gangs have seized control of much of the capital, over 2,500 people were killed or injured in just the first quarter of 2024. This disturbing trend has sparked deep concern among Caribbean leaders. At a recent Caribbean Community (Caricom) summit, regional heads of state cited “levels of crime and violence... fueled in part by firearms and ammunition trafficking, transnational criminal networks, and a deterioration of social structures.” DEA and the Police in the Caribbean, Drugs, Violence. Jack puts it bluntly: “Where there are drugs, there are guns. And with guns, there's always violence.” The DEA's Mission in the Caribbean The Drug Enforcement Administration, established in 1973 during President Nixon's war on drugs, is the lead U.S. agency for combatting illegal narcotics. While most Americans associate DEA operations with big city drug busts or cartels, the agency plays a vital role in the Caribbean, partnering with local and international police forces to stop the flow of drugs into the U.S. The DEA Caribbean Division covers a wide area, including Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Barbados, Haiti, Jamaica, the Netherlands Antilles, Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago and others. Its mission is not just enforcement, but also coordination, training local police, gathering intelligence, and working alongside global partners. With units like the Caribbean Corridor Strike Force, the DEA focuses on interdiction, cutting off drug shipments before they reach U.S. soil. The full podcast episode is streaming now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. From Football Coach to Federal Agent. DEA and the Police in the Caribbean, Drugs, Violence. Before he was chasing smugglers, Jack McFarland was a high school teacher and football coach. His path from the classroom to DEA headquarters in Anne Arundel County, Maryland, is a testament to how varied law enforcement careers can be. From his early work in Philadelphia to leading international operations out of Baltimore, Jack has lived a life filled with purpose, and danger. Now retired, he uses his experience to speak, consult, and train law enforcement agencies across the country and beyond. He's also active on various social media platforms, where he shares insights on crime, policing, and global drug trends. Modern-Day Pirates and Real-World Consequences While pirates might sound like a fantasy from the past, modern-day piracy is a real concern in the Caribbean. Smugglers and traffickers are often armed, mobile, and ruthless. Some target commercial vessels; others engage in violent turf wars on land. Be sure to follow the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast promoted across their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. In fact, many violent crimes across the region are tied to gang warfare over drug territory, made more deadly by a steady influx of weapons. DEA and the Police in the Caribbean, Drugs, Violence. The DEA, working closely with the police in the Caribbean, continues to be a frontline force in stemming this tide. But as Jack McFarland reminds us, “This isn't a job for the faint of heart. It's dangerous, complicated, and essential.” Behind the island sunsets and steel drum music lies a battle that few tourists ever see. The DEA and the police in the Caribbean are locked in a constant struggle against violent drug traffickers who exploit the region's geography for global operations. But thanks to seasoned agents like Jack McFarland and dedicated Caribbean law enforcement officers, progress continues. Their courage and commitment protect not just U.S. borders, but the people of the Caribbean as well.

Interview with Justin van der Toorn, President & CEO of Greenheart Gold Inc.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/greenheart-gold-tsxvghrt-target-rich-cash-backed-and-ready-to-drill-7095Recording date: 28th July 2025Greenheart Gold presents a compelling investment opportunity in one of the world's most underexplored yet highly prospective gold regions. The company has rapidly established itself as a systematic explorer across five projects in Suriname and Guyana, advancing three to drill-ready status within just one year of operations. This accelerated development timeline demonstrates both the quality of the geological targets and management's execution capabilities in challenging frontier environments.CEO Justin van der Toorn brings proven Guiana Shield expertise, having previously contributed to projects now employing 400-500 people in active construction phases. This direct regional experience provides invaluable operational knowledge and stakeholder relationships essential for success in these jurisdictions. Vanatorne's hands-on leadership approach, including extended field presence at exploration camps, ensures real-time decision-making and intimate understanding of geological developments across the portfolio.The company's financial position provides significant strategic advantages with approximately $41 million in treasury funding multi-year systematic exploration programs. This substantial cash position eliminates near-term dilution risks and enables patient capital deployment based on geological merit rather than financing constraints. Management has demonstrated disciplined capital allocation, committing to systematic work programs while maintaining flexibility to optimize the project portfolio through selective advancement or divestment.Greenheart Gold's projects are strategically positioned within proven gold districts of the Guiana Shield, including areas proximate to operating mines and historical workings. The company implements rigorous technical standards including comprehensive QAQC protocols, modern analytical techniques, and systematic geological modeling to maximize discovery probability. With diamond drilling commencing at Miura Dam and multiple projects advancing toward drilling phases, the company offers leveraged exposure to discovery potential in a region experiencing renewed exploration interest from major mining companies. The convergence of experienced management, strong financial backing, and systematic technical approach positions Greenheart Gold for value creation through methodical exploration advancement in this highly prospective geological province.—View Greenheart Gold's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/greenheart-goldSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

This week, I'm joined once again by travel writer, YouTuber, and author Dave Seminara to explore a country rarely found on bucket lists — Suriname. Tucked between Guyana and French Guiana on South America's northern coast, this former Dutch colony is bursting with untouched jungle, rich multicultural heritage, and wildly underrated adventure experiences.Dave recently spent eight days solo travelling across Suriname, from the capital, Paramaribo, to the remote Maroon villages deep in the rainforest. He shares everything — how to get there, where to stay, why the Upper Suriname River is a must-do journey, and why it may just be the friendliest country in the world.We dive into:The colonial history and ethnic diversity that make Suriname one of the most culturally layered countries in the AmericasUnique cultural practices like polygamy and menstruation houses in Maroon communitiesWhy Suriname is known as the most Asian country outside Asia and the most African country outside AfricaIncredible food: from roti to Indonesian cuisine — and why Suriname is a hidden foodie destinationThe realities of getting around Suriname, including limited flights, overland routes, and remote access pointsVisiting remote villages via dugout canoe and navigating rivers that cut through untouched rainforestWhy Paramaribo is worth a short visit — plus tips on markets, accommodation, and cultural etiquetteAn honest take on safety, infrastructure, friendliness, and why the locals are genuinely curious about travellersThis episode is full of inspiration for anyone dreaming of a more authentic, remote, and meaningful travel experience. Dave's storytelling is full of insight, humour, and practical tips — and by the end, you might be planning your own trip to Suriname.Thanks to Dave for coming on again, and he is welcome back anytime, as he is a much-loved guest on the podcast.

Hear about travel to Suriname as the Amateur Traveler talks to Mike Power from SmallOfTheRoad.blogspot.com about his recent trip to this South American country. Why should you go to Suriname? Mike says, "It's an undiscovered little gem. I'm just surprised it's not more popular. The number one draw there would be nature and ecotourism. There's a ton to see. As much as 95% of the country is covered in rainforest. And so ecotourism and the wildlife, especially a lot of birds, monkeys, etc. The second one would be diversity. So, it's actually a very diverse country. And in particular, I found the maroon communities that live inland fascinating. These are descendants of former escaped slaves. And then finally, I'd say Paramaribo, which is the main city in Suriname. It's now a UNESCO World Heritage Site with these old buildings that date back to the 17th and 18th centuries." Here's the itinerary Mike recommends for Suriname: Get deep into the primary rainforest to experience wildlife and pure Amazonian jungle. Mike went to Nature Resort Kabalebo, which offered guided river trips, forest hikes, waterfalls, night walks, abundant birds, monkeys, poison dart frogs, and tapirs.   1.

En Guyane, près d'un habitant sur deux vit sous le seuil de pauvreté. Orpaillage illégal, crise migratoire, violences : les défis sont nombreux dans ce territoire oublié. Située au nord-est de l'Amérique du Sud, coincée entre le Suriname et le Brésil, la Guyane est une collectivité territoriale unique française. Ancienne colonie, située à 7 000 km de la France, c'est aussi une terre de migrations où se croisent Créoles, Français métropolitains, Brésiliens, Surinamiens, Amérindiens, Haïtiens, Caraïbéens, Laotiens... Un brassage linguistique et ethnique qui contribue à la richesse culturelle, mais des tensions interethniques. À cela s'ajoutent des relations compliquées avec métropole, la précarité économique et des violences liées notamment au trafic de drogue et à l'orpaillage illégal. En Guyane, plus de la moitié de la population vit en effet sous le seuil de pauvreté et près de 30% vit dans la très grande pauvreté. Le niveau de violences, de vols à main armée et d'homicides a atteint un niveau hors norme en 2024, selon le préfet de police Antoine Poussier. Comment la mosaïque des communautés guyanaises fait face à cette situation complexe ? Comment les habitants s'organisent entre précarité, violence et deuil ?   Avec : • Maxime Jean-Baptiste, réalisateur du documentaire Kouté Kwa, sortie le 16 juillet 2025 • Isabelle Hidair-Krivsky, anthropologue sociale et ethnologue.

Send us a text message and tell us your thoughts.Freedom wasn't granted—it was seized through blood, sweat, and unwavering resistance. Across the Dutch and Danish Caribbean colonies, enslaved Africans fought against brutal systems of oppression that are often overshadowed in mainstream historical narratives focused on British, Spanish, and French colonial powers.When thousands gathered in St. Croix on July 2nd, 1848, led by freedom fighter General Buddhoe (Moses Gottlieb), they weren't asking politely for their liberation. They threatened to burn Frederiksted to the ground, forcing the Danish governor to declare immediate emancipation. This powerful act of collective resistance is why July 3rd remains sacred in the U.S. Virgin Islands, commemorated through Freedom Week celebrations that honor ancestral sacrifice and triumph.Meanwhile, in the Dutch Caribbean territories like Suriname, Curaçao, and Aruba, emancipation arrived decades later in 1863—and even then with the cruel stipulation that the formerly enslaved would be required to work an additional decade on the plantations where they had suffered. This delayed freedom, finally realized in 1873, is now celebrated as "Keti Koti" (the chain is broken), a powerful testament to resilience against Dutch colonial brutality. The colonial footprints of the Netherlands and Denmark—alongside brief periods of Swedish and Portuguese occupation—remain etched in Caribbean legal systems, languages, demographics, and collective consciousness. By amplifying these overlooked histories, we honor the full spectrum of Caribbean resistance and recognize that every Emancipation Day represents a hard-won victory by those who refused to accept bondage as their fate. Our ancestors' struggle for dignity continues to illuminate our path forward.Support the showConnect with Strictly Facts - Instagram | Facebook | Twitter | LinkedIn | YouTube | Website Looking to read more about the topics covered in this episode?

Des dizaines de personnes sont toujours portées disparues au Texas. Les importantes inondations qui ont touché cet État du sud des États-Unis ont déjà fait au moins 82 morts, dont 28 enfants. Face à des pluies abondantes, le fleuve Guadalupe s'est transformé en torrent meurtrier en moins d'une heure. Une colonie de vacances a notamment été inondée. Dix jeunes filles et une monitrice figurent parmi les personnes encore recherchées. Le journal local Houston Chronicle publie d'ores et déjà les photos de personnes décédées et de celles recherchées. Notamment deux sœurs mortes agrippées l'une à l'autre. Face à la violence du drame, les médias se posent aussi des questions sur les responsables. Pourquoi n'y a-t-il pas eu d'évacuation alors que les autorités locales ont reçu des alertes 24 à 48h avant le drame ? CBS News Texas a notamment tenté de poser la question hier (6 juillet 2025) lors d'une conférence de presse locale de Kerr : « C'est une bonne question mais nous nous concentrons pour l'instant sur les recherches pour sauver 11 jeunes filles toujours disparues », répond le sheriff. Le journaliste de CBS News décrit une conférence de presse brusquement écourtée. C'est à cette question que le Houston Chronicle consacre son éditorial. « Il est bien sûr impossible de prévoir des inondations plusieurs jours en avance. Mais jeudi à une heure de l'après-midi, le service de météorologie nationale avait suffisamment d'informations pour lancer une veille sur les inondations. Ils ont finalement diffusé une alerte 12h plus tard à 1h du matin le vendredi. Des alertes au niveau local auraient dû être déclenchées automatiquement. Ces alertes n'ont été diffusées que 4h avant la catastrophe qui a surpris les habitants vers 7h du matin vendredi.  « Les autorités du Texas ont-elles fait suffisamment pour éviter les dégâts causés par les inondations ? », questionne la Une du Dallas Morning News aujourd'hui. Plus précisément : les suppressions d'emplois fédéraux menées par l'administration Trump ont-ils entravé le service de météorologie publique. Les autorités locales et nationales ont pointé du doigt le manque d'alerte des météorologistes. Mais, ces derniers affirment que les autorités avaient reçu suffisamment d'alerte pour réagir et lancer une évacuation. Le journal ajoute que les équipes de météorologie nationale ont perdu 25% de son personnel. Ainsi l'agence locale de New Braunfels n'a plus de coordinateur météorologiste. C'est lui qui travaille normalement avec les agents locaux chargés des inondations et d'autres désastres.  Face à l'ampleur de la catastrophe, la presse nationale s'interroge également La région du Texas Hill Country n'est pas étrangère à ce type d'inondations, rappelle le Washington Post. Pourquoi ont-ils été pris au dépourvu ? Alors que les météorologistes annonçaient de fortes pluies dès jeudi, certaines autorités locales ne se préparaient qu'aux célébrations de la fête nationale vendredi, raconte le journal. Au-delà de la place vacante du coordinateur de météorologie locale due à la réduction d'effectifs ordonnée par l'administration Trump, le journal soulève également le manque de système d'alerte efficient dans la zone. Les autorités locales avaient voulu en mettre un en place, mais il avait été jugé trop extravagant et trop coûteux. Il y a huit ans, les responsables du comté de Kerr avaient en effet demandé de faire davantage pour construire un système d'alerte autour des rives de la rivière Guadalupe, rappelle le New York Times. Mais comme aucune mesure n'a été prise, il n'y avait ni sirène ni dispositif de surveillance précoce, ces derniers jours. Les alertes par SMS sont arrivées tardivement dans une zone où la couverture téléphonique n'est pas stable. Une partie du Texas est toujours sous une pluie abondante. L'alerte aux inondations a été prolongée au moins jusqu'à ce soir (7 juillet 2025) 20h, heure locale.   Haïti : « La mission de maintien de la paix doit avoir un mandat adapté »   Une fois de plus, Human Rights Watch s'alarme de la situation en Haïti et interpelle la communauté internationale. Il faut plus de moyens pour la Mission multinationale qui ne parvient pas, pour l'instant, à lutter contre les gangs et à limiter leur emprise, plus de moyens aussi pour aider les déplacés qui sont aujourd'hui 1 300 000 dans le pays. Les équipes de Human Rights Watch se rendent régulièrement en Haïti. Cette fois, il était trop dangereux de se rendre à Port-au-Prince. C'est donc à Cap Haïtien, à 200 km au nord de la capitale que s'est déroulée la dernière mission. Nathalye Cotrino, chercheuse senior auprès de la division Amériques de Human Rights Watch et ses collègues ont mené toute une série d'entretiens avec des travailleurs humanitaires, des représentants de la société civile et des agences des Nations unies. Les gangs ont mis au point de nouvelles stratégies pour vider certains quartiers de Port-au-Prince de leurs habitants : messages sur les réseaux sociaux pour prévenir d'une attaque imminente ou incendies des habitations en bordure des zones visées. L'expansion territoriale des gangs affecte progressivement des couches plus aisées de la société. Cap Haïtien, lieu de refuge, n'a pas les moyens de faire face. Il n'y a pas de centres pour les accueillir. Chacun doit se débrouiller pour se loger chez un proche ou en louant une chambre. « La plupart d'entre eux dorment à 7, 10 ou même 15 personnes dans la même pièce », explique Nathalye Cotrino de HRW. Ils dorment à même le sol, sur un morceau de carton ou de plastique. Tous nous ont raconté qu'ils ne mangent pas tous les jours. Certains n'avaient rien avalé depuis 2 jours. Cap Haïtien est dans une situation économique difficile, notamment à cause de la violence à Port-au-Prince. Mais cette situation s'explique aussi par la concentration de l'aide humanitaire dans la capitale et dans le sud du pays. À Cap-Haïtien, il n'y a aucune aide humanitaire. Le gel des financements américains a considérablement réduit les capacités d'action des agences onusiennes. Elles ne peuvent tout simplement pas aider tout le monde. » Les déplacés interrogés par Human Rights Watch disent ne pas recevoir d'aide non plus de la part du gouvernement ou de la ville. Cap Haïtien n'a même pas de registre qui permettrait de savoir combien ils sont. Human Rights Watch demande à la communauté internationale d'agir de toute urgence. La Mission multinationale d'appui à la sécurité est sous-équipée. Elle n'est composée que de 991 hommes sur les 2.500 annoncés et n'a pu ouvrir que 3 des 12 bases promises. Elle n'a plus l'argent pour fonctionner jusqu'en septembre. Pour Human Rights Watch, il faut la transformer en mission des Nations unies, mais avec un mandat spécifique. « Nous avons affaire à du crime organisé avec des ramifications internationales, justifie Nathalye Cotrino. Ça ne peut donc pas être une mission de maintien de la paix classique. Il lui faut un mandat adapté, mais aussi des objectifs plus larges comme la stabilisation politique, la restauration du système judiciaire et de l'état de droit. Ça ne sert à rien de capturer les chefs des gangs si on n'a pas de programmes de réinsertion pour les jeunes car on sait que les effectifs des groupes criminels sont composés de 30 à 50% de mineurs. » Mais pour obtenir la création d'une mission des Nations unies, il faut qu'un pays se saisisse du dossier. Pour l'instant, personne ne semble prêt à assumer ce rôle. Haïti : « Les citoyens haïtiens n'ont presque plus aucun droit » Cette situation catastrophique a évidemment des conséquences très lourdes sur les droits des Haïtiens bafoués. Des milliers de familles n'ont pas de quoi répondre aux besoins de base à Port-au-Prince ou dans certaines zones du pays, dans un État en faillite dans l'impasse politique. Les citoyens haïtiens n'ont presque plus aucun droit selon l'Office de la protection du citoyen. Le protecteur du citoyen Wilner Morin appelle l'État à prendre ses responsabilités. Son interview réalisée par notre correspondant Peterson Luxama est à retrouver dans cette tranche.   Tour de France : où sont les cyclistes péruviens ? Le Tour de France a commencé ce week-end, la 3ème étape se déroule aujourd'hui entre Valenciennes et Dunkerque, dans le nord du pays.

Es ist nicht alles legal, was glänzt: Das gilt für die Goldbranche. Was, wenn das Gold, das in unseren Smartphones oder Kettenanhängern steckt, illegal abgebaut wurde? Und Menschen und Umwelt in große Gefahr bringt? In dieser 11KM-Folge nimmt uns der in Südamerika lebende Journalist Fabian Federl mit in den Dschungel. In Französisch-Guyana und Suriname konnte er beobachten, wie das Geschäft mit illegalem Gold funktioniert – und welche Tricks angewandt werden, um schon früh in der Lieferkette die genaue Herkunft zu verschleiern.

Lecture 6 Part 2LECTURE OUTLINE: Reimagining the Caribbean — History, Identity & Invention1. Defining Key Terms & Unsettling MythsWhat is the Caribbean?What it is not:Not simply “a group of islands surrounded by the Caribbean Sea.”That colonial compass would erase Belize, Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana.The Caribbean is not just geography — it's history, identity, and ideology.A Construct, An Invention:Ian Meeks and Norman Girvan argue the Caribbean is an invention, molded by the European gaze since 1492.The so-called “discovery” was really colonial construction — cultural erasure dressed as exploration.The Socio-Political Caribbean:Social scientists ask: In whose interest is society designed?Whose narrative dominates?Often, the Caribbean's story has been told through the lens of its colonizers — not its people.Economic Caribbean – A Dependent Capitalist Model:According to Neoliberalism (2021) and the "Washington Consensus", Caribbean economies were shaped to serve external interests.Ramesh Ramsaran: Structural Adjustment transferred power from local to global hands — a feature of life in the Global South.These are the legacies of debt, austerity, and manufactured dependency.Global South vs Global North:New language, same old hierarchies.The “Global South” replaces “Third World” — a more palatable term, but still denotes marginalization.2. A People in Paradox: Race, Identity & AgencyThe Problem of the Caribbean is the Problem of the Black and Brown PositionWherever Black or Brown bodies are found — so too is systemic exclusion.Not due to essence, but to constructed inferiority.Colonization as Psychological Violence:Fanon: Colonization turns man against himself.Du Bois: The Black soul peers through a veil, always asking: “Am I enough?”Morrison: We are told to strive toward whiteness — only to find we can never truly arrive.Depersonalization & Loss of Agency:Colonialism stripped humanity. The enslaved weren't just shackled in body — but in being.This leads to malady: acting against our own interests.Afrocentricity vs Eurocentricity:Afrocentricity: a way of seeing.Eurocentricity: the only way of seeing.The former offers liberation. The latter demands assimilation.Diaspora Realities:Caribbean immigrants are often seen as threats cloaked in exoticism — "two sharp teeth," as you wrote.Their potential is feared, their labor exploited.Kenneth Clark's “Dark Ghettoes”:Ghettoes aren't just places — they are conditions.Whether in Philly or Kingston, Harlem or Port of Spain, these spaces reflect economic colonization.Externally: Poor housing, crime, disease.Internally: Apathy, self-loathing, compensatory bravado.3. Postcolonialism – Not the End, But the EchoPostcolonial ≠ Post-ColonizationFanon in Black Skin, White Masks: Black and White locked in a tragic performance — each role scripted by Empire.In Wretched of the Earth: Freedom is radical; it requires rupture, not reform.The Paradox of Independence:Haiti and Cuba led revolutions — and were punished for their audacity.Independence does not equal inclusion.4. Center vs Periphery — Who Gets to Speak?Homi Bhabha's Lens:The center is the mainstream — the dominant culture, the "norm."The periphery is where African spirituality, literature, and lifeways have been cast.In the Caribbean, this leads to self-scorn: bleaching skin, abandoning roots, ridiculing Revivalists or Rastafari.5. Supplementary Content for Today's SessionReading & Discussion: CLR James – The Black JacobinsCLR James (a Trini) told the story of Haitian revolutionaries, but through a European framework.His education gave him tools, but not always the right lens.We question: Was this truly “history from below?”By Rev.
