My book is already available in digital form. You can read the chapter abstracts here: doi.org/10.1093/978019775508…. I would like to highlight chapter 7, which offers a new and counterintuitive explanation for the liberalization of the slave trade in 1789.

I just discovered that somebody recorded me playing atabales (Afro-Dominican drums) last year in Monte Plata, DR.

Hello historians!
Does anyone have access to David Murray's "The slave trade, slavery and Cuban independence"? doi.org/10.1080/014403999085…
I am not able to access it through my campus. Thanks in advance.

¿Alguien tiene fotos de Santo Domingo 178A o 178B del AGI?
Tengo que escribir un capítulo sobre la Jamaica española pero el AGI está digitalizando estos legajos ahora y no puedo consultarlos.
¡Gracias por compartir! @jjponcevazquez @DrDanielleTW @FidelTavarez @DrJesseCromwell

I've been at the AGI for almost two weeks. The fact that we can now take unlimited pictures makes a really big difference. I will take home a large amount of documents for my second book project. For graduate students, this is also a game changer. Glad the AGI took this step!

Short video of me playing palos (Afro-Dominican music) during the 2024 fiestas patronales of Monte Plata, my mother's hometown. I play in NY, but it feels different when playing on the island.
