The Jamaica Kollection of the Shante Dream Arkive: Being Dreamity, Algoriddims, Chants & Riffs by Marcia Douglas

In this episode, we speak with Marcia Douglas about her latest book, which weaves together stories from the past with the present day. It follows a young woman, known to the reader only as 20A, who is fleeing immigration officers in the United States, and combines it with the stories of many other lives, including that of an enslaved woman fleeing her captors. The stories are juxtaposed against botanical, animal, and planetary migrations in Jamaica. This episode was taped in front of a live audience at the Boulder Bookstore on May 13, 2025.
