Podcast: Réparations

Description

Repairs. This slogan is being heard more and more around the world. In Black Lives Matter demonstrations after the death of George Floyd, in rallies in support of Adama Traoré. The West's colonial and slave-owning past continues to hurt. Would reparations for slavery be the solution? We wanted to explore this utopia by focusing on the situation in two former French colonies: Guadeloupe and Martinique. Through a historic trial, that of some fifty descendants of slaves who took the French state to court in Fort-de-France.

Réparations’ is the second series of “L'Histoire”, the Paradiso Media podcast that immerses you in the little-known aspects of our collective history: events that have been passed over in silence, unusual facts, invisible figures, obscure characters, the great forgotten of the national story... o understand the present, its issues and its structures, we need to shed light on the past: ‘L'Histoire’ scrapes away the varnish of official history and reveals its shadows and mysteries.
