About the Project:
Young Cape Verdean Rotterdammers conducted interviews in 2014 with Cape Verdeans who had arrived in the city between 1955 and 1975 and had made a living there.
In 2021, International Studies student Maxime Schut at Leiden University studied six interviews from 2014. She also interviewed seven Cape Verdean interviewers about why it was important for them to take part in the project. Thus, a collection of interviews was formed on audio and video, transcribed and sometimes translated.
The podcast draws attention to this collection and to the history of Cape Verdians in Rotterdam, but also to the importance of preserving these kinds of stories for future generations.
