  • Summary

  • As we step into the early colonial years of Sint Eustatius (1600–1650), we discover a critical period in the transatlantic enslaved trade. Guided by historians and local voices, we explore the unimaginable suffering endured by enslaved African men and women, with a focus on the unique exploitation of enslaved women as labourers and reproductive vessels. We also begin to uncover the story of the blue beads—these beads carry a history of both oppression and hope. Through these narratives, we honour the resilience of those who endured and reflect on humanity's capacity for both cruelty and endurance.
