    Which Indo-Caribbean group creolized the most?

    I made this Audio for my friends, but it got somewhat informative, so I decided to share it here. If you didn’t know, another complex layer of my identify is I was born & raised in Little Guyana, a Guyanese enclave of NYC, which has the largest indo caribbean diaspora in the United States. I hope to EXPAND on this topic. This is just very informal basics. 🚨 Please excuse my language & any unserious comments.

  2. ‘ I can’t understand my mom, but at least I’m white now!’

    ‘ I can’t understand my mom, but at least I’m white now!’

    Here I explore and comment on the shared language erosion phenomenon. The children of immigrants often acquire English quickly, even if they themselves immigrant as young children. As they increase fluency in English, SOMETIMES this coincides with a decrease in home language fluency. While this is often unintentional, some of these children do in fact embrace English and other west languages in order to solidify their assimilation into western, or even in extreme cases, white society. Please listen to the episode for sources and contact me directly for DOI of the papers referenced in this episode.
