Episode Synopsis "Part Eight - Freedom from colonial rule"

This is Seychelles and the legacy of Slavery, a podcast series in 8 parts. In this final episode of this limited series, we will be talking instead not about the stories of the slaves but the legacy of slavery and its impact on the generations that came after them to form the Creole people living in today’s modern society. In recent years, the cultural identity of the Seychellois people has become the subject of academic interest, especially as there is now a large proportion of Seychellois educated at Masters level and above. This has demonstrated a need for us to better understand who we are as a people more comprehensively, and critically assess whether the fundamental role that slavery has played in the cultural history of our population has been adequately recognised. I hope you enjoyed the series!
