    What happens when our memories, photographs, documents, and digital lives slowly disappear? How can we ensure that future generations inherit not just our records, but our stories? In this episode of Dis A Fi Mi History Podcast, host Wendy Aris sits down with historian Tom Mullaney to discuss his thought-provoking book, How We Disappear, and the many ways history can be lost—not only through catastrophic events but through the gradual erosion of personal records, family archives, and digital information. Together, they explore how family photographs, genealogical records, digital files, government documents, and everyday information shape our understanding of identity, memory, and history.

  • Archival Irruptions: Moravians, Obeah, and Hidden Caribbean Histories
    2026/07/05
    What can archives tell us about the lives of enslaved Africans—and what have they left unsaid? In this compelling episode of Dis A Fi Mi History Podcast, host Wendy Aris welcomes Associate Professor Kathrine Gerbner to discuss her groundbreaking new book, Archival Irruptions. Together, they explore how Caribbean archives, missionary records, and colonial documents both reveal and conceal the religious lives, resilience, and agency of enslaved Africans in eighteenth-century Jamaica. The conversation examines the Moravian Church's mission in Jamaica, the criminalization of Obeah (Obia) following Tacky's Revolt of 1760, and the complex relationship between Christianity, African spiritual traditions, healing practices, and resistance. Professor Gerbner demonstrates how historians can read against the grain of colonial archives to uncover the voices and experiences that were intentionally marginalized or omitted from the historical record. Discover how Moravian missionaries documented baptism, healing, and spiritual practices, while also navigating the tensions between African religious traditions and colonial authority. This episode offers fresh perspectives on Caribbean history, African diaspora history, genealogy, archival research, and the lasting impact of these eighteenth-century debates on contemporary understandings of African-derived religions throughout the Caribbean. Whether you're passionate about Caribbean genealogy, Black history, Atlantic World history, Obeah, the Moravian Church, or historical research, this conversation will transform the way you think about archives and the stories they preserve—and the ones they silence. In This Episode: ✔️ Archival Irruptions and what it means to "read against the archive" ✔️ The Moravian Church's role in colonial Jamaica ✔️ Obeah (Obia), African spirituality, and colonial law ✔️ Tacky's Revolt and its historical significance ✔️ Recovering the voices of enslaved Africans through archival research ✔️ Caribbean genealogy and the importance of historical records ✔️ How the past continues to shape conversations about religion, identity, and cultural heritage today Book Link:https://www.katharinegerbner.com/books/archival-irruptions/ Website: https://www.katharinegerbner.com/ Bio: Associate Professor Katharine Gerbner is a historian of religion, race, slavery, and the Atlantic World at the University of Minnesota, where she also serves as Director of Religious Studies. She is the author of Christian Slavery and Archival Irruptions, which examines the criminalization of Obeah in eighteenth-century Jamaica. Her research uncovers marginalized voices through innovative archival methods, reshaping our understanding of Caribbean and African diaspora history.

  • Becoming Indigenous: Haiti’s Revolutionary Rebirth
    2026/06/28
    In this episode Dr. Amanda T. Perry discusses her research on how early nineteenth-century Haiti used the language of indigeneity to define nationhood after the revolution. The conversation explores how formerly enslaved Africans, Taíno memory, and political claims to territory shaped the new state's identity and citizenship. Topics include the Declaration of Independence, racial and social divisions, exclusions of French colonists, later debates about Taíno presence, and the long-term implications for Caribbean ideas of belonging and nationhood. Bio: Amanda T. Perry is a writer, scholar, educator, and literary critic based in Montréal, Québec. She teaches at both Champlain College Saint-Lambert and Concordia University, specializing in Caribbean literature, cultural studies, and postcolonial history. She earned her PhD in Comparative Literature from New York University, where her research focused on Caribbean literature in English, French, and Spanish. Her scholarship explores Caribbean identity, race, migration, sovereignty, and historical memory. She has published in leading journals, including Small Axe, The Global South, and the Journal of Early Modern Cultural Studies, and her research examines topics ranging from Haitian indigenism and abolition debates to the cultural impact of the Cuban Revolution across the Caribbean. Professor Perry is the author of the influential article Becoming Indigenous in Haiti: From Dessalines to La Revue Indigène, which explores how Haitians have used the concept of indigeneity to define national identity, sovereignty, and belonging from the Haitian Revolution through the twentieth century. Her work challenges conventional understandings of Caribbean identity by examining the intersections of African ancestry, Indigenous memory, and postcolonial nation-building. Beyond academia, Perry is a contributing editor with the Literary Review of Canada and has written for publications including The Walrus and The Globe and Mail. Her work is distinguished by its multilingual and interdisciplinary approach, bringing together history, literature, culture, and politics to deepen our understanding of the Caribbean and its diasporas. https://muse.jhu.edu/article/664084/summary 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 Great Research Resource https://www.ancestorsofparadise.com/ Clothes https://effystyle.goaffpro.com/ Reservations for Barbados https://diaspora-discoveries.com/reservations Opus Clip: https://www.opus.pro/?via=74ffcf Cultural Roots: https://www.skool.com/cultural-roots-reconnection-8301/about?ref=62a97470644b496897d06254e6796add This episode was recorded at Waterfront Studio Link: https://www.waterfront.studio/home Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/waterfront.studio/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/waterfrontstudio905/ Recorded Music Theme Music "Africa" is modern ethnic track with fresh chords, African vocal, orchestra.
