Late medieval physiognomy in text *and* in practice… a rare set of sources unpacked by Claire Weeda in our newest Medicine and the Making of Race, 1440-1720 blog.

Talloze commentaren uit de 14de-15de eeuw op Aristoteles’ Oeconomica gaan uitvoerig in op slavernij. Er werkten toen veel slaven in huishoudens en op galeischepen, vooral in het Mediterrane gebied. Meestal uit het Zwarte-Zeegebied, Noord en Sub-Sahara Afrika en Europa.

Excited to share my essay in Medicine and the Making of Race, 1440-1720's new series on race in #histmed . The essay reappraises the anti-black history and myth-making around Mexico's first smallpox outbreak. It's part of my next project & meant for folks teaching on global histories of race, health, and empire

Our second Medicine and the Making of Race, 1440-1720 blog piece by Farren Yero is a subtle reading of a fascinating source showing the complexity of early encounters with smallpox, and the colonising/racialising inflections of discourse around it…
