Episode Summary

In this opening episode of Saltwater Reasonings, I sit with Yentyl K. Williams to explore the power and politics of Caribbean reasoning as a method of knowing.

We talk about Frantz Fanon’s enduring question, what mark will our generation leave on the world, and how Caribbean intellectual traditions continue to shape our scholarship, activism, and everyday practice.

From dance studios in Trinidad to the classrooms of Brussels, this episode moves through the spaces where knowledge is lived, not only written. It invites us to listen for the rhythms of responsibility, relationality, and renewal that pulse through Global South thought.

Themes: Caribbean epistemologies • Fanon and generational responsibility • Decolonising method • Intellectual activism
