Liming, Ole Talk, and the Politics of Listening

In this episode of Saltwater Reasonings, I sit with Prof Camille Nakhid to reason about liming, ole talk, and the politics of listening.

We explore how everyday Caribbean practices become powerful methods of knowledge production, resistance, and community-building. Camille reflects on the ethics of listening, who is heard, who is silenced, and how informal exchanges hold deep epistemological value.

Through stories of teaching, migration, and activism, we return to the veranda, the kitchen, and the street corner as sites of theorising and collective care. This episode invites us to listen differently, to understand that conversation itself is a radical practice of remembering, belonging, and reimagining power.

Themes: Caribbean relationality • Oral traditions • Listening as method • Decolonial pedagogy • Community knowledge
