"Pree" means "to look or check out something" and it also sounds like the English prefix "pre" meaning "before". This podcast is exploring Caribbean history, with a focus on Jamaica. We'll visit everything from flag designs, sunken cities and revolutions. I'm Danielle Barnett and I love history as much as a good fantasy novel so I hope you'll enjoy this podcast too.

<p>The Caribbean had a food supply problem for their enslaved population. Planters petitioned the government to bring back breadfruit trees from the newly "discovered" Polynesian islands- namely Tahiti. Capt Bligh was tasked to undertake this long mission to bring back seedlings on his plant nursery ships. The mission went terribly wrong the first try before he gave it another go. This expedition introduced many beloved foods which are now staples in the Jamaican diet.</p> <p>Resources:</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.nationalgeographic.com/culture/article/breadfruit-and-the-bounty-that-brought-it-across-the-ocean">https://www.nationalgeographic.com/culture/article/breadfruit-and-the-bounty-that-brought-it-across-the-ocean</a></li> <li>“Bastard Breadfruit and Other Cheap Provisions: Early Food Science for the Welfare of the Lower Orders.” Early Science and Medicine, vol. 21, no. 5, 2016, pp. 492–508. www.jstor.org/stable/44490835.</li> <li>“3.

<p>Trinidadian-born musical prodigy, Hazel Scott made waves during the 1930s to 1940s with her jazzed up classical numbers. She wowed the nightclub scenes with her musical rendition, used her influence to elevate how black people were portrayed in films and married the first black congressman from New York. Hazel Scott was a model of African American success until her career crumbled due to false accusations of communism. </p> <ul> <li>Hazel Scott: A Career Curtailed. https://www.jstor.org/stable/20064068?read-now=1&seq=2#metadata_info_tab_contents. </li> <li>What Ever Happened to Hazel Scott? - YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_WJ4PpxWaE </li> <li>https://www.wnyc.org/people/hazel-scott/ </li> <li>https://www.womenshistory.org/education-resources/biographies/hazel-scott </li> <li>https://www.encyclopedia.com/women/encyclopedias-almanacs-transcripts-and-maps/scott-hazel-1920-1981 </li> <li>https://www.archives.gov/exhibits/american_originals/eleanor.html </li> <li>https://www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-culture/hazel-scotts-lifetime-of-high-notes-145939027/</li> </ul> <p>Intro & outro music: Music: Dutty - Vibe Tracks <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YeHqPHl1114&t=0s">https://youtu.be/YeHqPHl1114</a></p>
