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. Bio Adélaïde Marine-Gougeon has an advanced teaching degree, and she taught in high school for several years. She is currently writing her doctoral thesis, Circulations, réseaux et identité des familles blanches créoles de la Martinique au xixe siècle, entre transcolonialisme et nationalism (Circulations, Networks and White Creole Family Identity in Martinique in the 19th Century: Transcolonialism and Nationalism, under the supervision of Jacques-Olivier Boudon (Sorbonne Université, 20th-Century History Center) and Myriam Cottias, (CNRS, CIRESC). She is also an “ATER” (teaching and research fellow) in contemporary history at Sorbonne University’s School of the Humanities. https://ehne.fr/en/encyclopedia/themes/europe-europeans-and-world/empires-and-racial-thinking/racial-mixing-and-racial-boundaries-in-19th-century-martinique History Podcasts https://blog.feedspot.com/history_podcasts/ • Caribbean History Podcasts https://blog.feedspot.com/caribbean_history_podcasts/ • Caribbean Podcasts https://blog.feedspot.com/caribbean_podcasts/ • History Podcasts For Historians https://blog.feedspot.com/history_podcasts_for_historians/ Follow: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/berkshirehalleppingpress/ Morning Journal Link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CXMTL3NV Genealogy Workbook: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09NRHG3M3 Prayer Journal: https://a.co/d/bfSdIl0 Devotional Journal: https://a.co/d/8K3C8Hk Support The Podcast https://ko-fi.com/disafimihistory/tip Clothes https://effystyle.goaffpro.com/ Reservations for Barbados https://diaspora-discoveries.com/reservations Theme Music "Africa" is modern ethnic track with fresh chords, African vocal, orchestra.
