This is an oral history interview with Esme Lancaster, recorded in 1992, discussing her life in Jamaica and the UK.
Esme lived in Jamaica until 18th December 1950 when she travelled to England with the aim of improving her education.

She spent time living in Bristol, Birmingham and South America, returning to Jamaica on occasion.
These recordings include racially explicit content, including discussions of racism, prejudice and violence; and language and phrasing that we would not use today. Some of this content might be unsuitable for younger listeners or triggering for People of Colour.
We recommend reading the description for each track before choosing to listen.
