The Impossibility of the Archive

Written By Yvette Borja

On this episode, Yvette interviews good friend, former housemate and Latinx academic Chris Rodelo on his dissertation research focusing on 19th century Latinidad and performance. They discuss the impossibility of the archive that scholars must always contend with in attempting to reconstruct marginalized histories, why analyzing performance gives us particular insight into BIPOC experiences, and tell the tale of 73 Edgewood.
