581. Part 2 of our conversation with Matthew Teutsch about his article, "Blood in the Pool: The 1868 Bossier Massacre." "Violent, racist attacks didn't just occur in Bossier. They occurred across the Red River in Caddo Parish and all throughout the Red River Valley. Gilles Vandal notes that during Reconstruction 45% of the murders in Louisiana were concentrated in the northwestern part of the state. Caddo accounted for 16% of the homicides even though it only accounted for 3% of the state's population. People may have tried to cleanse the soil of the blood, but the blood remains deep within the earth." "Matthew Teutsch is the Director of the Lillian E. Smith Center at Piedmont College. He maintains Interminable Rambling, a blog on literature, culture, and pedagogy, and has published articles and book reviews in various venues including Lear, Melus, Mississippi Quarterly, African American Review and Callaloo. His research focus is African American, Southern, and Nineteenth Century American literature. He is the editor of Rediscovering Frank Yerby: Critical Essays (UPM 2020), and his current project examines Christopher Priest's run on Black Panther. Follow him on Twitter at @SilasLapham."

"Escrita con 'tx' o con 'che'. Salvo que uno sea extraterrestre, todos sabemos que es el cohete que se lanza desde el balcón del Ayuntamiento de Pamplona para dar inicio a las fiestas, aunque también se lanza en otros lugares. Por eso la definición que da el diccionario se refiere, en general, al disparo de un cohete que señala el comienzo de un festejo".

The Amateur Traveler talks to Vicente Perez about his home city of Pamplona, Spain. Pamplona is best known for the festival of San Fermin and of course for the running of the bulls. Vicente tells us more about that colorful festival, of which, the running of the bulls is actually a very small part. From the Txupinazo, the ceremonial firing of a rocket on July 6th until July 14th the population of Pamplona swells with celebrants. Processions of giant figures (the Comparsa), music, bull fights and lots and lots of partying fill the days and nights. But Vicente also tells of some of the other features of Pamplona and the Navarre region that can be enjoyed any time of year including wonderful food, beautiful mountains, castles, and the nearby cave of Zugarramurdi (Known for the Basque witch trials).
