In this episode, we explore St. Eustatius — the "Golden Rock" — and how its prosperity during the 18th century was deeply rooted in colonialism, powered by the transatlantic slave trade and the brutal sugar economy. We trace the island's pivotal role in global commerce, featuring insights into the Golden Rock Plantation and the recent discovery of an African burial ground. We also discuss the ongoing impact of slavery on the island's people and memory, demonstrating how this heritage continues to shape modern identity.
