New Books in African American Studies
Karma F. Frierson, "Local Color: Reckoning with Blackness in the Port City of Veracruz" (U California Press, 2025)

New Books in African American Studies

The Caribbean port city of Veracruz is many things. It is where the Spanish first settled and last left the colony that would go on to become Mexico. It is a destination boasting the “happiest Carnival in the world,” nightly live music, and public dancing. It is also where Blackness is an integral and celebrated part of local culture and history, but not of the individual self. In Local Color: Reckoning with Blackness in the Port City of Veracruz (University of California Press, 2025), anthropologist Karma F. Frierson follows Veracruzanos as they reckon with the Afro-Caribbean roots of their distinctive history, traditions, and culture. As residents learn to be more jarocho, or more local to Veracruz, Frierson examines how people both internalize and externalize the centrality of Blackness in their regional identity. Frierson provocatively asks readers to consider a manifestation of Mexican Blackness unconcerned with self-identification as Black in favor of the active pursuit and cultivation of a collective and regionalized Blackness. Karma F. Frierson is Assistant Professor of Black Studies at the University of Rochester. Reighan Gillam is Associate Professor in the Department of Latin American, Latino, and Caribbean Studies at Dartmouth College. Her research examines the ways in which Afro-Brazilian media producers foment anti-racist visual politics through their image creation. She is the author of Visualizing Black Lives: Ownership and Control in Afro-Brazilian Media (University of Illinois Press). Learn more about your ad choices.

Social Networks of Women of African Descent in New Spain

Untold Histories of the Atlantic World

Play Episode Listen Later Dec 3, 2025 31:44


In this episode, we will be discussing the history of social networks of women of African Descent in New Spain. Joining me is Ursula Rall.Ursula is a PhD Candidate in History at Emory University and is currently a dissertation fellow at the McNeil Center for Early American Studies. Her dissertation, titled “Forging Inter-Urban Communities: The Spatial Mobilities and Social Networks of Women of African Descent in New Spain: 1580-1745,” investigates the spatial mobility of Afro-descended women within and between three cities in central Mexico during the seventeenth century: Mexico City, Puebla, and Veracruz. More specifically, her dissertation asserts the contributions of Black women to the decline of the institution of slavery, the social mobility of the Afro-descended population, and Black identity formation in New Spain. Her research has been supported by a Fulbright-Hays doctoral research abroad grant, the American Historical Association, the Forum on Early Modern Empires and Global Interactions, and the Conference on Latin American History. She holds a BA in History from Bates College.

Forget Plain Vanilla: You'll Never See The World's Favorite Flavor the Same Way Again

Today, 'vanilla' often means boring, and yet the edible seedpod of this Central American orchid is one of the most expensive spices in the world, not to mention one of the most popular flavors globally. So how did this coveted bean get such a ho-hum reputation? Listen in this episode as Gastropod travels to vanilla's homeland in the highlands of Veracruz, Mexico, to investigate. It's a tale of botanical piracy, beaver butts, and ice-cream barges, in which an ingenious enslaved tween and the product of pulp paper waste combine to transform vanilla from a complex and sophisticated elite treat into the single-note synonym for dull. Plus, we meet the thrilling alternative vanillas we're all missing out on, and serve up the recipe for a vanilla tasting party that's guaranteed to make you fall back in love with the world's favorite flavor. You'll never see vanilla as plain again! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
