   “St. Eustatius: Restoring Our Ties - The Voices of Statians Making A Difference’ (published in 2026) is a book by cultural anthropologist Dr. Artwell Cain that documents the heritage, identity, and experiences of the African diaspora community on St. Eustatius. The book gives a voice to the community of St. Eustatius, an island with a rich but painful history of colonialism, slavery, and cultural oppresion.

‘Restoring Our Ties’ is a call for recognition, respect, and action—for the 69 excavated Afrikan Ancestors who are still awaiting reburial, for the marginalized Afrikan burial grounds, and for a community reclaiming its own history.”
