Many African women braided rice or seeds into their hair before journeying the Middle Passage, on their way to enslavement or braided it into their children’s hair before separation, so that they could eat. This video shot in the Maroon community of Suriname, demonstrates how, but more interestingly so, Suriname is the only place where one can find a specific grain of rice from Africa. The rest of the ‘New World’ cultivated an Asian rice. #knowyourcaribbean #suriname #maroons #slavery #transatlanticavetrade #blackhair #cornrow #africanrice DrKinu - #regrann https://www.instagram.com/p/BrE_QYphuyR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ay7d30h26m9f
