Statement following the death of Pilar Gonzalbo Aizpuru (1935-2024)

We would like to express our deepest condolences to the family, friends, colleagues, and students of Dr. Pilar Gonzalbo Aizpuru who sadly passed away on the 26th of February 2024, at the age of 89. Pilar Gonzalbo Aizpuru was a pioneer in the history of everyday life and, as we discuss with our guest in this episode, her work has had a considerable influence on historical scholarship in Latin America and beyond. Pilar Gonzalbo Aizpuru will continue to inspire historians on both sides of the Atlantic, and this episode is dedicated to her.

How have Mexican scholars approached the complex world of everyday life histories? Dr Nathaniel Andrews is joined by Dr Alfredo Ruiz Islas for a wide-ranging discussion on the origins, methodological approaches and key works within the field of Mexican Everyday Life History. Dr Ruiz Islas takes us through the development of the discipline and introduces us to the seminal work of one of its founding members ? Dr Pilar Gonzalbo Aizpuru. Tune in for discussions of sources, interdisciplinary challenges and the way in which colonial experiences influence both the realities and studies of everyday life in Mexico.

FreshEd #355 – Knowledge, Politics, and the East India Company (Joshua Ehrlich)

"Echoes of the Struggle" is a song that reflects the shared history of resilience and hardship experienced in both Africa and Haiti. The song draws on the historical connection between the two, rooted in the fight for freedom, self-determination, and the ongoing struggles against oppression, poverty, and instability.

In Africa, centuries of colonization, exploitation, and the fight for independence have left scars, but also forged a strong spirit of unity and perseverance. The song paints a picture of people rising from the ashes of exploitation, with voices of their ancestors calling out, urging them to continue the fight for justice, dignity, and peace. It acknowledges the challenges of modern Africa—economic inequality, political turmoil, and the fight against corruption—but also celebrates the richness of its cultures, languages, and resilience.

In Haiti, the echoes of the struggle resonate through its history as the first Black nation to gain independence from colonial rule, following a successful slave revolt. This victory came at a high price, and the country has faced decades of economic hardship, natural disasters, and political instability. The song reflects on the resilience of the Haitian people, who continue to fight for better days, even when faced with overwhelming odds. The chorus echoes the cries for justice, unity, and hope, not only for Haiti but for all nations that continue to fight for their freedom and dignity.

The lyrics intertwine the pain of the past with the hope for the future, recognizing the struggles that are still ongoing. Both Africa and Haiti share a bond rooted in their resistance against oppression, their fight for freedom, and the dreams of a better tomorrow for their people. The song is a tribute to the strength of these people, who continue to march forward, even when the road ahead seems uncertain.

We often imagine civilizations so immense they can create worlds and colonize galaxies, and yet to fuel those immense engines of creation, they may need to harvest entire planets.
