A Patchwork Columbian Exchange
This article reconsiders Alfred Crosby’s Columbian exchange by turning from sweeping generalizations to the granular realities of New Spain. Drawing on the sixteenth-century relaciones geográficas, it argues that colonial environments were patchworks: mosaics of local ecologies, animal assemblages, and human choices. Cross-referencing the animals mentioned by local survey respondents with their environments illustrates how practitioners observed …

Unmaking Waste
In Unmaking Waste, Sarah Newman draws on her expertise in Mesoamerican archaeology to boldly and ambitiously challenge readers to access pasts and conceive of futures in which they see not “waste” but reuse and renewal.

Horse racing
This article uses the renaissance culture of horse racing as a window into the practices and language of breeding, artifice, and race.

Racing culture, and other formal and informal competitions related to animals incentivized the development of specialized horse breeds called razze in Italian; this term is a precursor of the modern Eng…

The Giant Remains

European naturalists' willingness to accept the giant remains required them to embrace localized Mesoamerican cosmologies. The fossilized landscape provided evidence that conquest and eradication had …
