About this listen
In 1824, a Book of Punishment from the plantation called Friendship in the Quarter of Savoneta, Trinidad, recorded a woman named Nancy. In this episode of Rewritten in Their Names, I read Nancy’s entry aloud and sit with the fragments that remain of her life and of other enslaved women in Trinidad and the wider Caribbean.
Content note: This episode includes references to corporal punishment, hunger, and the violence of enslavement.
