| Description: | Jesse Cromwell, Ph.D., candidate in History at The University of Texas at Austin, presents a workshop titled "Chocolate-Covered Colony: The Material Culture of Cacao in Eighteenth Century Venezuela." See Web site to RSVP.
With research interests in 17th- and 18th-century Latin American and Caribbean history, maritime history, imperial rivalry, commerce and trade, smuggling and piracy, Cromwell examines in his dissertation - tentatively titled "Covert Commerce: A Social History of Contraband Trade in Venezuela, 1680-1800" - the unexplored lives of non-Spanish smugglers, Venezuelan collaborators, corrupt Spanish officials and Afro-Caribbeans involved in the colony's flourishing illicit trade markets.
