113, Historian Michael Zhang on Redpath sugar and slavery in the Caribbean

On this edition of Free City Radio we hear from historian Michael Zhang who offers research based reflections on the legacy of John Redpath, founder of Redpath sugar and also a colonial business mogul who was deeply involved in the construction of the Lachine canal, a process through which many workers lost their lives. In this exchange Zhang highlights the complicity of Redpath in the context of the colonial Caribbean where the production of sugarcane relied on the systemic enslavement of a Black African workforce. Redpath sugar to this day makes no note of this violent history that is linked to the corporation: https://www.redpathsugar.com/our-history Music on this edition is by Markus Floats @markusfloats from the work Third Album released by @constellation-records
