Fetishizing the Past to Imagine the Present
This article looks at the way that producers and consumers have fetishized the Mesoamerican beverages chocolate and pulque. Chocolate has become a commodity fetish in the Marxian sense, in which it is seen to have an inherent and autonomous value in the marketplace. Pulque has become an ethnic fetish, in which it is celebrated inside and outside of Mexico because of its associations with Indigenous people and particularly the Indigneous past. Thi…
Creole Civic Pride and Positioning “Exceptional” Black Women
H ere we examine texts written by and about women of African descent in the Americas during the seventeenth century. That we know about their lives indicates that they were exceptional; that they were black, enslaved for the first parts of their lives, and located in the Americas makes them, by some standards, marginal as well. Over one hundred years before Phillis Wheatley gained recognition as “Phillis, a Negro girl, in Boston,” the lives of th…

The Material Atlantic
Textiles were central to trade circuits in West and West Central Africa, East Asia, and the Indian Ocean long before the modern world developed. In The Material Atlantic, Robert DuPlessis shows the centrality of cloth, as well as the importance of fashion, in the early modern Atlantic trade system that supplemented these existing systems. This cloth included cotton from West Africa, India, and eventually England and wool, silk, and linen textiles…
A Trail of Precious Goods
Products such as cacao, tobacco, sugar, cochineal, emeralds, and silver were produced or extracted and, in many cases, originated in the region now called Latin America. They became global commodities under Spanish and Portuguese colonial rule during the early modern period, roughly 1500 to 1800, when they were traded to Europe and Asia. In many cases, goods that were originally limited to elites and defined as luxuries were transformed into prod…
