October 2022: I had fun contributing a chapter to the excellent Maps that Made History: 1000 Years of World History in 100 Old Maps (also published in Dutch) about this map of California. But don’t just read my essay! The book is fascinating and gorgeous – it will look very nice on the coffee table of any of you map-lovers out there.

January 2020: El Norte was nominated for the Mark Lynton History Prize. Read more here.

September 2018: I had the great pleasure of speaking with Patrick O’Shaughnessy, who hosts the wonderful Versus History podcast. Hear our discussion on Caribbean history here (episode 44).

August 2018: During a trip to Mérida, Mexico, I was kindly invited to talk about Mexico and the Caribbean with Freddy Heredia on the show Acceso Directo. Watch it on YouTube.
