Reflections on researching the Caribbean and Black Canadian history. An interview with Michele Johnson

Race, migration et communauté
Race, migration et communauté : raconter les histoires caribéennes Juanita De Barros (bio) and Laurie Jacklin (bio) PEU D’ENDROITS dans le monde ont été aussi touchés par les migrations que les Caraïbes. Tout au long de son histoire, des vagues d’immigrants volontaires et involontaires ont remodelé la région. Mais les Caraïbes ont également envoyé un grand nombre de gens dans d’autres parties du monde, en Europe, en Afrique, en Asie, et à travers…
Race, Migration, and Community
Race, Migration, and Community: Telling Caribbean Histories Juanita De Barros (bio) and Laurie Jacklin (bio) FEW PLACES in the world have been as touched by migration as the Caribbean. Throughout its history, waves of involuntary and voluntary migrants have remade the area. But the Caribbean has also sent vast numbers of people to other parts of the world, to Europe, Africa, Asia, and all over the Americas, including Canada, where Caribbean-Canad…
Diasporic Sources and Caribbean History
Oral history is crucial to two ongoing research projects: the first focuses on the history of childhood and family in the twentieth-century Anglophone Caribbean, and the second concentrates on the construction and nature of the Caribbean interviews archived in the Multicultural History Society of Ontario (MHSO) collections. The following examination of some of the scholarship on oral sources and Caribbean migration raises significant questions fo…
Epidemics in the Past and Now
I'd like to open our discussion by asking how (if at all) COVID-19 reshapes our historical understanding of epidemics and pandemics in the colonial past. Do you think that the present pandemic has a specifically colonial relevance or resonances?DA: This is a big and, to my mind, fascinating question as it goes to the heart not just of what we as historians make of the present pandemic but of our role as historians, and especially as historians de…
Embodied sources
This article uses a particularly rich account of an abortion trial in a British Caribbean colony in the early twentieth-century—British Guiana—to explore the extent to which contemporary ideas about population decline influenced the enforcement of anti-abortion laws in this colony. This article argues that the official focus on the interwined problems of infant mortality and population decline did not determine popular approaches to reproduction.…
Katherine Paugh. The Politics of Reproduction
With their new books The Politics of Reproduction and Contested Bodies, Katherine Paugh and Sasha Turner make impressive contributions to the fields of gender and women’s history in the Caribbean, demonstrating that in the late slave period, imperial policies regulating childbirth and women’s bodies were both cultural and political matters. Paugh and Turner join the growing number of historians who emphasize the centrality of reproduction in the …
Leprosy and Colonialism
The Experiential Caribbean
Modern Colonization by Medical Intervention
In Modern Colonization by Medical Intervention: U.S. Medicine in Puerto Rico, Nicole Trujillo-Pagán makes an important contribution to the scholarly understanding of the history of health and medicine in the Caribbean. Although the scholarship for this part of the world is less extensive than that for other areas of European colonization, the last decade or so has seen it grow in both size and complexity. We know much more about the history of pu…
Reproducing the British Caribbean
This book traces the history of ideas and colonial policymaking concerning population growth and infant and maternal welfare in Caribbean colonies wrestling with the aftermath of slavery. Focusing on Jamaica, Guyana, and Barbados in the nineteenth century through the violent labor protests that swept the region in the 1930s, the book takes a comparative approach in analyzing the acrimonious social, political, and cultural struggles among former s…
Crossing colonial boundaries
This paper explores the responses of two Caribbean men, the Jamaican Harold Moody and the French Guyanese Félix Eboué, to the economic and political crisis in the Caribbean in the 1930s, focusing on their views about health and colonial medical systems. It examines some of the international and Caribbean experiences that shaped their views and careers. Despite their differences (Moody was a medical doctor who lived in the UK for much of his life,…

Order and Place in a Colonial City
Throughout the post-slavery Caribbean, former slaves and masters fought to determine the shape of the new free societies. Urban areas - with their growing populations and vibrant Afro-creole culture - were often the sites of these struggles. In Order and Place in a Colonial City Juanita De Barros explores the conflicting visions of public areas held by local political and economic elites and by non-white urban poor in Georgetown, British Guiana, …
