Über diesen Titel

In this episode of Rewritten in Their Names, Listra reads a single entry from an 1824 return of punishments from Union Plantation in Pointe a Pierre, Trinidad. The record names Betty Let and reduces her to one “offence” sentence, then measures the response in hours: from about ten o’clock in the field to foot stocks beginning at six in the afternoon, through the night. Staying close to the page, this episode follows what the record counts, what it leaves silent, and what still survives in Betty’s refusal.

Content note:

This episode includes the language of the colonial record and a description of punishment. There is no graphic detail, but the themes may feel heavy. Please listen in a way that feels safe for you.
