Maroon Heritage in Dominica - Ep 82

On today’s episode, Jessica chats with Jonathan Rodriguez (3rd year PhD student in the Applied Anthropology program at the University of South Florida) about Maroon heritage in Dominica. We talk about how he got interested in archaeology and this topic, as well as how his Army service and Anthropology training influenced his experience with each. We also talk about his upcoming Fulbright research in Dominica, where he will use geospatial methods, archaeology, and oral history to learn more about and amplify the voices of a community that purposefully left little evidence of themselves in the archaeological record. Finally we talk about the networks between Maroon communities and diversity of Maroon community experiences across the Caribbean, as well as Maroon efforts today to be recognized as Indigenous peoples.
