This was so much fun! A million thanks to Dr Isabella Rosner for welcoming me on to her podcast. And for a really nice thread of some of the artifacts that came up in our discussion.

I have read this. It is incredibly informative. You should read it too! Congratulations and thanks, Mary Ellen Hicks, for doing some seriously heavy historiographical lifting here.



It arrived! Plantation Goods: A Material History of American Slavery by Seth Rockman tells a story of American capitalism through the materials that connected enslavers and enslaved “coerced consumers” to spinners weavers & owners in the North press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book…


This talk was a total and complete triumph. It was 🔥 and everyone in the room was like "whoa!" I was so proud to be your friend and colleague as you were speaking. Thank you Gorkem Akgoz for bringing it and for sharing your intellect with Brown History Dept.
