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.
