The Book of Yerba Mate
The untold story of South America’s most interesting beverage Brewed from the dried leaves and tender shoots of an evergreen tree native to South America, yerba mate gives its drinkers the jolt of liquid effervescence many of us get from coffee or tea. In Argentina, southern “gaúcho” Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay, mate is the stimulating brew of choice, famously quaffed by the Argentine national football team en route to its 2022 FIFA World Cup v…

Suspicion, empathy, and the archival imagination
This article celebrates Katherine Verdery’s impact on the discipline of cultural anthropology through an exploration of the intersection of suspicion, empathy, and the archival imagination in ethnographic research, drawing on Verdery’s experiences during her decades of fieldwork in Romania. Verdery’s encounters with state surveillance, exemplified by her analysis of her Securitate secret police file, challenge conventional notions of ethnography …
Climate change and the hydropower sector
Renewable sources of electricity, such as solar and wind, need to be paired with sources of reliable baseload. Hydropower is a renewable, low‐emission source of electricity baseload available throughout much of the world as an alternative to electricity conventionally provided by thermal combustion of fossil fuels; however, the global hydropower sector as it stands relies upon surface water flows of substantial and predictable volume. This makes …
Ceremony, Medicine, Caffeinated Tea
Yaupon (the unfortunately named Ilex vomitoria) is a holly commonly used as yard décor in the southeast United States, but many North Americans will be surprised to learn that it is the source of a stimulant tea that has been in continuous use for nearly a millennium. Yaupon is more than a drink; it is a window into questions of identity, community belonging, and how the New World was inserted into the global economy. From Cabeza de Vaca's sixtee…
The Nature of Sovereignty in the Anthropocene
Leftist former Bishop Fernando Lugo came to power in Paraguay in 2008 with the pledge to "recover Paraguay's hydroelectric sovereignty" from Brazil by demanding greater control of the energy and finances of Itaipú Binational Hydroelectric Dam. This article explores what is meant by "hydroelectric sovereignty" and argues for a new approach to how to theorize sovereignty within anthropology by urging that scholars move beyond a focus on the excepti…
The Cause of All Paraguayans? Defining and Defending Hydroelectric Sovereignty
Aunque el Paraguay produce y exporta más energía hidroeléctrica per cápita que cualquier otro país de la región, estos recursos están colocados en sus fronteras con Argentina y Brasil, complicando asuntos nacionales con complejidades transnacionales. Sectores populares en el Paraguay denotan a las represas binacionales Itaipú (con Brasil) y Yacyretá (con Argentina) como la depredación imperialista. En la última década, la nación paraguaya se conv…
The Paraguay Reader
Augusto Roa Bastos once described his native Paraguay as “una isla rodeada de tierra” (an island surrounded by earth). Isolated because of its landlocked location in the heart of South America, inward-looking because of its historical development vis-à-vis neighbors Argentina and Brazil, Paraguay has been plagued by opacity. In The Paraguay Reader: History, Culture, Politics, editors Peter Lambert and Andrew Nickson challenge this by tracing the …
Surveillance and State Violence in Stroessner's Paraguay
Like other dictators, Paraguay's Alfredo Stroessner staked his regime's claims to modernity on a massive hydroelectric project, Itaipú Dam. Critiques of dams tend to focus on environmental degradation caused by flooding, forced displacement of communities, and fiscal malfeasance. But Itaipú, the world's largest dam, also participated in the Stroessner regime's secret police terror apparatus. A series of formerly classified documents about Itaipú …
Seeing and the State in Argentina, Brazil, and Cuba
Stimulating Consumption
Before Najla passes me the gourd brimming with yerba mate, she makes sure to wipe the end of the metal drinking straw with the fragrant leaves of a local herb-for the flavor and to clean it she explains in her Venezuela-accented Spanish. We sit under the welcome shade of a veranda, each taking our turn to drain the gourd and then returning it to Najla to fill once more with warm water from the teakettle. After splashing a pitcher of cold water on…
The Curse of Nemur. In Search of the Art, Myth, and Ritual of the Ishir by Ticio Escobar
Fine Dining
This article treats pre-1959 Cuban cookbooks as interlocutors to see how the struggle to define Cuba's racial and national body can be found in efforts to characterize what goes into that body by setting a close textual analysis of the books alongside an account of their historical context. In examining recipes, visuals, and nonrecipe prose, this article explores how later authors attempt to represent Cuba as white and European by ignoring and tr…
