Visual Anthropology Review, Volume 39, Issue 2, Page 350-387, Fall 2023., 2023 Abstract In this paper, I argue that monuments to mestizaje (miscegenation) in Puerto Rico reaffirm the myth of a harmonious mixture between the White Spaniard, Black African, and Indigenous Taíno.

Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, Volume 46, Issue 2, Page 270-283, June 2021., 2021 In this paper I analyse the making and unmaking of amphibious urban modernity in Recife in the Northeast of Brazil between 1920 and 1950.
