This week join the HAG team and their very special guest, University of Pittsburgh historian and Pernille Røge, as we take a look at what was cookin’ in empire’s crazy kitchen known as the Early Modern era.This history moves in mysterious ways, but it’s all right, because the saucy boys offer a polyrhythmic take on modernity, and ask the question: can you really fix a system that never worked in the first place? From Ghana to Guadeloupe, from slavers to sugar traders, we hope it’s not too late to come clean with the Early Modern Era. Be sure to check out Pernille's book, Economistes and the Reinvention of Empire: France in the Americas and Africa, c. 1750-1802.
This week's music: Built to Spill, "You We're Right"; Oceanator, "A Crack in the World"
