  • Ep. 10 - Racial Betrayal and the Founding of New Spain - Pt. II
    This episode is the second part of Specialist Ma'asehyahu Isra-Ul's discussion of the modern conceptualization of race and whether the actors of 16th century New Spain (Mexico and its surrounding areas) could be judged by such an understanding and perspective. Though controversial, the host challenges the listener to consider how black and indigenous people of the era viewed each other and why they would have supported the Spanish in the conquest of the region (knowing that they were sealing the fates of many of their own race). If you enjoyed Pt. I and were eager to hear more, you do not want to miss this week's Pt. II episode of the Leading By History podcast!

  • Ep. 9 - Racial Betrayal and the Founding of New Spain (An Introduction)

    In this episode Specialist Ma'asehyahu Isra-Ul reviews some of his research concerning Racial Betrayal in the Founding of New Spain (Mexico and surrounding territories). With the current talk of racism and the "social construct of race", it is important to examine the origins of race in the early Americas.  The story of Hernán Cortés provides the historical backdrop for the discussion. His exploits, fueled by a lust for power and wealth, continued a course of action started by Christopher Columbus (Cristóbal Colón) some two decades earlier. This course of action would disrupt the indigenous population of the Americas and inspire a caste of race amidst racial confusion for the years to come. You do not want to miss this week's examination of the history of race and conquest in "the New World".
