What this episode covers
On Sept. 3, 2020, Jessica A. Krug, a tenured history professor, wrote that her adult life was founded on lies. Instead of growing up poor and Afro-Puerto Rican in the Bronx, as she had long claimed professionally, she grew up a white, Jewish child in suburban Kansas City. In this first episode of a two-part conversation, Dr. Santiago Slabodksy, Dr. Elías Ortega-Aponte, and Dr. Jacqueline Hidalgo contextualize this story by discussing the complex ways in which Jewish, Black, and Latinx identities intertwine and conflict, particularly in the academy. Krug's story and its representation in the media offer a window onto the obscured entanglements of Jewish and Afro-Puerto Rican histories in the Americas.
