What We Inherit

What We Inherit (2025)

Jameisha Prescod’s exploration of the legacies of medical colonialism in Suriname and its attempts to classify and control black bodies centres the experiences of Afro-Surinamese and Maroon communities living in the Netherlands, including the voice of poet Carina Fernandes. Foregrounding personal responses to illness, spirituality, and medicine, Prescod reclaims health as a practice of memory and care where survival alone is understood as a radical inheritance.
