About this listen
Alfred and Eddie are back, this time with guest Paula Gaviria Betancur, a human rights lawyer and UN expert.
The three have a conversation that explores the displacement and resettlement of communities, using the historical context of Africville and other contemporary issues like in Colombia. Eddie discusses the forced relocation of Africville residents and the subsequent loss of community and dignity. Paula highlights the global issue of internally displaced persons (IDPs), noting that 71 million people were IDPs in 2022, compared to 40 million refugees. She emphasizes the importance of documenting and addressing the intangible losses and the need for inclusive, culturally sensitive resettlement strategies. The discussion underscores the resilience of displaced communities and the necessity of political will and community collaboration to achieve justice and reconciliation.
