Silencing Divination in Mexico (part 1)

In this episode, Las Hermanas are joined by Dr. Diego Luis to discuss his article "Galleon Anxiety: How Afro-Mexican Women Shaped Colonial Spirituality in Acapulco." We share our thoughts on silencing within history and the effects it has had on our perception of enslavement. We all further discuss how Afro-Mexican women, both free and enslaved, manipulated systems for social power from the 1570s - 1630s in Mexico. The music in the episode is brought to you by Blue Dot Sessions.
