Brown Atlantis Radio feat. Françoise Vergès

In this episode of Brown Atlantis Radio we speak with Françoise Vergès about islands of the Afrasian Sea: La Réunion, Chagos and Diego Garcia. The militarisation of the Indian Ocean and cooptation of nargaon by diasporic caste politics. We explore the multiple palimpsest chronotopes of the Indian Ocean world, the subaltern, mnemonic possibilities of a museum without objects and in the music of maloya. And always, lines of flight: the perpetual state of refusal in marronage, the mountains and the sea.
