It is in what Danielle Skeehan calls material texts that a people's history and culture is preserved, in their embroidery, their needlework, and their woven cloth. In defining textiles as a form of cultural writing, The Fabric of Empire challenges long-held ideas about authorship, textuality, and the making of books. It is impossible to separate text from textiles in the early modern Atlantic: novels, newspapers, broadsides, and pamphlets were printed on paper made from household rags. Yet the untethering of text from textile served a colonial agenda to define authorship as reflected in ink and paper and the pen as an instrument wielded by learned men and women. Skeehan explains that the colonial definition of the book, and what constituted writing and authorship, left colonial regimes blind to nonalphabetic forms of media that preserved cultural knowledge, history, and lived experience. This book shifts how we look at cultural objects such as books and fabric and provides a material and literary history of resistance among the globally dispossessed. Each chapter examines the manufacture and global circulation of a particular type of cloth alongside the complex print networks that ensured the circulation of these textiles, promoted their production, petitioned for or served to curtail the rights of textile workers, facilitated the exchange of textiles for human lives, and were, in turn, printed and written on surfaces manufactured from broken-down linen and cotton fibers. Bringing together methods and materials traditionally belonging to literary studies, book history, and material culture studies, The Fabric of Empireprovides a new model for thinking about the different media, languages, literacies, and textualities in the early Atlantic world. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Learn all about some of the challenges that mixed people faced in early America. Buy this book! https://uncpress.org/book/9781469658995/blurring-the-lines-of-race-and-freedom/ From UNC Press Website: "The history of race in North America is still often conceived of in black and white terms. In this book, A. B. Wilkinson complicates that history by investigating how people of mixed African, European, and Native American heritage—commonly referred to as "Mulattoes," "Mustees," and "mixed bloods"—were integral to the construction of colonial racial ideologies. Thousands of mixed-heritage people appear in the records of English colonies, largely in the Chesapeake, Carolinas, and Caribbean, and this book provides a clear and compelling picture of their lives before the advent of the so-called one-drop rule. Wilkinson explores the ways mixed-heritage people viewed themselves and explains how they—along with their African and Indigenous American forebears—resisted the formation of a rigid racial order and fought for freedom in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century societies shaped by colonial labor and legal systems. As contemporary U.S. society continues to grapple with institutional racism rooted in a settler colonial past, this book illuminates the earliest ideas of racial mixture in British America well before the founding of the United States."

Part Four of the Conquest of the Americas begins with a short discussion about the indigenous people of Brazil, especially the Tupi-Guarani speaking people first encountered by Europeans when they reach Brazil. Included are graphic descriptions of cannibalism as practiced in Brazil at the start of the 16th century. Next, the episode moves on to the topic of Amerigo Vespucci, the infamous Italian liar for whom two continents are named. Vicente Pinzon was the Spanish explorer who "discovered" Brazil in 1498, and his expedition, as well as those of Mendoza, and de Lepe. However, although the Spanish first sailed to Brazil it was claimed by the Portuguese after the voyage of Pedro Alvarez Cabral, on his way to India. Cabral's fleet spent 9 days on the Brazilian coastline. They built a cross. It was very festive. Portugal's king Dom Manuel sent a return fleet to Brazil the next year, commanded by Niccolo Coelho, who took some time mapping Brazil’s coastline – in all journeying something like 2,500 miles of coastline– and amongst his crew was a certain Amerigo Vespucci. Spanish and Portuguese attempts at uncovering the straight to the Pacific are then discussed before getting to the successful attempt by Ferdinand Magellan. Next the episode turns to the French in Brazil and the resulting rivalry between Portugal and France. It turns out that the French don't give a damn about the Treaty of Tordesillas. Ultimately, the Portuguese begin sending fleets to Brazil to "pull out the weeds of French colonialism" and after the Portuguese burn a French fort the Portuguese decide to settle Brazil in order to keep their rivals out. Thus begins the system of donatary captaincies in Brazil. Finally, the episode ends with a discussion of "go-betweens" and how people like Amerigo Vespucci were more important for their depictions of America than for his claiming to be first to get there. Europeans become obsessed with the freedoms with Brazilians possess and ultimately the Tupi-Guarani cannibals in Brazil are partly responsible for later episodes of European history such as the Reformation, the Scientific Revolution, and real revolutions like the Dutch Revolution and later American and French Revolutions.

Jesse and Chris speak for about an hour about the impact of madness on history and get into all sorts of topics. How Madness Shaped History offers a unique look into the past, topics discussed in the interview include the concept of the "dark triad" a dangerous combination of personality disorders that should probably be avoided in political leadership roles because some of the worst dictators in history like Hitler, Stalin, and Mao were classic examples of the "dark triad" personality disorder. Jesse and Chris talk a lot about the Hapsburg Dynasty, especially Joana the Mad and Charles II. It is pretty undeniable that because of madness and incest, the Spanish Hapsburgs were unable to keep the Spanish empire together in times of crisis. Chris has a lot of interesting things to say about communism - why does communism have such a terrible track record of producing terrible rulers? Perhaps dictatorship is not the correct answer to the problems that the poor face. Towards the end of the interview, Jesse and Chris discuss more modern issues - like how dementia is a form of madness and one that clearly seems to have some impact on the upcoming US Presidential election. Jesse asks Chris for his professional advice on how we might best deal with contemporary issues like smart phone addiction and being locked down in Coronavirus quarantine without becoming mad ourselves. https://www.amazon.com/How-Madness-Shaped-History-Narcissists-ebook/dp/B07QGPB8CN ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Part three of the conquest of the Americas. The conquest of Tierra Firme. Jesse tells the story of Vasco Núñez de Balboa and the "discovery" of the Pacific. There is a lot of good information on the Chibchan as well. This is a good overview of the early Spanish Conquest of Central America. Conquistadores like Ojeda or Hojeda, Nicuesa, and Pedrarias or Pedro de Arias. The Spanish called Central America Tierra Firme in the 15th century - and it comprised the wealthiest region of the so-called Spanish Maine by the first twenty years of the 16th century since Hispaniola was experiencing a demographic collapse by the start of the century. Later, parts of Central America and South America were called Veragua, Uraba, and Darien. The harbor of Cartagena in modern Colombia was the best harbor on the Atlantic coast of the Americas, but the easiest to find for the conquistadores was probably the Gulf of Paria, in what is now modern Venezuela - where Trinidad and Tobago nearly touch South America. Columbus called this Veragua. https://www.patreon.com/AtlanticWorld ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Part two of Conquest of the Americas. Spanish Conquistadores expand from Hispaniola. What follows is a shocking tale of genocide. After Columbus' disastrous management of Hispaniola, he is succeeded by Nicolas de Ovando - a butcher who oversaw the genocide of the Taino people. In roughly a single generation the conquistadores eradicated the people of Hispaniola, Puerto Rico, Jamaica, Cuba, and the Bahamas. This was accomplished via warfare and slavery - and most importantly through the use of concentration camps wherein slaves mined for gold in crowded conditions until they died. Reformers like Bartolome de Las Casas work in vain to stop the destruction. patreon.com/atlanticworld facebook.com/atlanticworldhistory ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

The story of the history of the Atlantic World truly begins in Genoa, where host Jesse Wuest tells the tale of a young boy from Italy, who desperately desired to grow up to be a baller, a shot-caller. And after 1492 the world will never be the same. His name is Christopher Columbus, he sailed in 1492 as you well know, across the Atlantic and reached the Americas. In truth, the Admiral took four voyages across the ocean and this episode details his life and career - as well as gives information about the Taino and Carib Indians whom he encountered in the Caribbean. Other conquistadores and "explorers" such as Roldan, Ojeda or Hojeda, Juan de la Cosa, and Amerigo Vespucci are also discussed. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
