Episode Synopsis "Part Four - Lost identities"

This is Seychelles and the legacy of Slavery, a podcast series in 8 parts. In this episode, we will be looking at how the slaves who ended up in Seychelles were stripped of their identities, but went on to develop a new common language and culture, heavily influenced by their colonial masters, but colourfully infused with the echoes and whispers of various mainland African languages and cultures. I’ll also talk about how certain practices connected with slavery have become an important part of our culture, such as the moutya.
