Abandoned Daughters of Caribbean Moms

By: J. Rosemarie Francis
  • Summary

  • During the 1950s and 60s, hundreds of thousands of West Indians, including many Caribbean moms, migrated to the UK, Canada, and the U.S. for better opportunities. They played vital roles in industries like healthcare and education, significantly shaping the cultural landscape of their new homes. However, many of these mothers left their children, particularly daughters, behind. While some daughters later reunited with their mothers, the emotional scars from these long separations often went unhealed, leaving many relationships fractured. This podcast explores the profound and lasting impact of this mass migration on the daughters left behind, examining the emotional toll and the long-term effects of these unresolved relationships between Caribbean mothers and their daughters.
