Four Thought - The Trouble with Paradise

Carrie Gibson argues that we need to re-think what we mean by paradise.

Carrie has recently completed a major history of the Caribbean, and in this talk she explores the complicated interwoven history of the Caribbean and of how it has been understood in the wealthy west. And she argues that we may need to re-evaluate our understanding of the meaning of paradise.
