BHM 2021 - The role of religious leaders in the Caribbean resistance to colonialism

BHM 2021 Presentations - The role of religious leaders in the Caribbean resistance to colonialism (26 Oct) by Hilde Capparella.

In this talk, Hilde Capparella gives an introduction to the Maroons and the Caribbean's religious leaders that were pivotal actors in the revolts for colonial liberation. In the Caribbean context ATRs (African Traditional Religions) and the development of ACRs (African Caribbean Religions) as we know them today, have been pivotal to resist colonial slavery, and therefore in shaping Caribbean history. It can be argued that African history did not end with colonialism, but instead continued to develop in the new world.
