Episode 86
This hybrid episode brings together of Hungry Books and Pass the Chipotle Podcast and I’m joined by Dr Deborah Toner editor of "Alcohol in the Age of Industry, Empire, and War," a ground-breaking volume that explores the intricate connections between alcohol and society from 1850 to 1950. 
Through the episode we examine in detail the volume’s eight chapters following the complexities of alcohol production, consumption, regulation, and commerce, delving into gendered, medical, religious, ideological, and cultural meanings that surround alcohol.
We unpack all the juicy ways in which this book illuminates the global impact of alcohol and its essential role in shaping the processes of empire-building, industrialization, and decolonization. Join us as we uncover the profound influence of alcohol on societies during a transformative era, exploring the intersection of history, culture, and the human spirit.

Alcohol in the Age of Industry, Empire, and War 

Presented by: Rocio Carvajal Food anthropologist, culture & gastronomy educator.


Episode 85
This episode features a conversation with Dr Caroline Dodds Pennock about her latest book: On Savage Shores: How Indigenous Americans Discovered Europe combining a critical perspective that questions the historiography, narratives, and consequences of marginalizing the role of indigenous people in the colonial and post-colonial contexts, with a critical view of the complex history of Mexico's formation and the silenced voices and stories that continue to bleed through the cracks of power structures. 


We talk about the challenges of writing historical narratives about indigenous travelers, the types of historical research will we be looking at in the future, and what are the obstacles that decolonial historical research has to tackle to diversify and enrich present and future scholarship.

Episode 82

Dr Pablo Sierra’s research contests that blackness is a decidedly foreign concept in the cultural history of the City of Puebla, an idealised urban centre whose narratives about Spanish baroque splendour have silenced the stories and presence of other ethnic groups, namely thousands of enslaved and free afro descendants.
In this episode, we discuss the rise of Afromexican studies, Puebla’s role in the slave trade, the racialised configuration of the novohispanic society, and the challenges of critical historical research.
We also talk about the case of an elite Afro-Indigenous couple in colonial Puebla, called Felipe Monsón y Mojica and Juana María de la Cruz that lived in the 17th century and rose to power and wealth as chilli tycoons. Their history reveals incredible details about social mobility, self-empowerment, interracial relations and even Puebla’s intertwined history with piracy in the Caribbean.
