<![CDATA[Rewritten in Their Names]]> https://rss.com/podcasts/rewritten-in-their-names In the colonial archives of Trinidad, there are 2,824 punishment records. Each record names an enslaved woman and records what the system called her offense. These records were written to administer colonial power, not to remember the women inside them.

Rewritten in Their Names reads those records anyway, closely, and without invention. Each episode follows one woman through the archive. We read what the system recorded: her name, her work, and the fact of her presence in a world designed to erase her humanity while cataloging her as property. We do not reconstruct what she felt. We stay with what survived.

This podcast is for everyone carrying the weight of a history that was deliberately hidden. The women who built Trinidad left no grave markers and received no tributes.

They are in the archive. This podcast brings them home.

Hosted by Listra Mitchell-Hunt, a descendant of the enslaved women of Trinidad.

and read her offense and punishment exactly as it was recorded.

Our focus is the woman, not the spectacle of enslavement.

We sit with her line in the archive to honor her memory,

to insist that she existed, and to remember that she endured a system

designed to break her.
