Great to share space on a panel with Baroness Young of Hornsey, Kim Johnson MP, Nairobi Thompson and Peter Noel at a Windrush event in Parliament UK today. 🙏🏼 #TheOtherWindrush
Many thanks to the fabulous author @kandacechimbiri for mentioning #TheOtherWindrush on Deanna Lyncook’s podcast @thehistoryhotline Really look forward to listening to more episodes of this important podcast.
Last year my colleague Dr Mark Tumbridge, of the University of Guyana, kindly visited the National Archives in Georgetown to help me obtain a better copy of their records for my father’s paternal grandmother, who came to
#Guyana through the system of Indian indenture in the 19th century. Mark’s visit revealed a story unknown to me and I’ll be sharing what I’ve pieced together at the
#YorkFestivalOfIdeas this Saturday. Please join me alongside Prof. Diamond Ashiagbor, Maureen Grant, Prof David Dabydeen, filmmaker Arlen Harris and Stephen Pittam as we dive into the history of the system of
#Indenture and examine its legacies today. This is a free event and the link to book is in my bio.
My latest article ‘Elusive Mother Country: The Literature of the Indian-Caribbean Windrush’ is out now. It’s #OpenAccess and appears in the latest issue of the Journal for the Study of Indentureship and its Legacies. Follow the link on my bio to access this piece.
Really enjoyed being part of this programme on #InvisibleAsians #IndentureToWindrush and sharing personal stories as well as archival histories. Check out the link in my bio to listen
I was on @bbcworldservice this morning talking to my favourite voice on radio, the excellent and incisive Audrey Brown. What a pleasure to discuss #TheOtherWindrush with her 🙏🏼🇬🇾. You can listen to this episode by following the link in my bio and going to 42 mins into the broadcast.
So many things compete for our attention on social media; I’m really grateful to anyone who found time to read my article in The Conversation last week. 🙏🏼 (link in bio)
