And here is an overview of the game, via its official website:

About

The vast ocean sings to me. I must go and conquer it! Our last summer at Seisho Music Academy… With the 101st Seisho Festival “Starlight” coming up, we the students of the 99th class take up the challenge to perform “El Dorado,” an oceanic epic that Japan is proud of, for our summer performance. The exiled admiral, Salvatore Guglie. The heir to a royal Spanish family, Alejandro Javier Cavallero Cruz. Who will “we” choose… between the “two protagonists” of this story?

Characters

Karen Aijo – “No matter what waters I have to cross, I will… definitely reach you!” A Stage Girl who traded fates with her childhood friend Hikari to “stand on that stage together someday,” after being entranced by the stage play “Starlight” she watched as a child. She gave her all in performing “Starlight” with Hikari, and now begins to walk towards the “next stage” by herself.

Hikari Kagura – “I don’t need destiny or oaths anymore!” A Stage Girl who has loved stage plays since she was a child, and was led into the world of stage plays after watching “Starlight” with Karen. After performing the “fated stage play” with Karen, she has currently returned to studying at London’s Royal Institute of Dramatic Arts. She is striving towards becoming a stage actress while dreaming of the day she reunites with Karen on the stage.

Maya Tendo – “May my revenge shine beautifully as my fuel.” She is the top student at Seisho Music Academy. A thoroughbred, with both parents being prominent figures in the world of theater. Despite overflowing talent in acting, singing, and dancing, she is a proudly independent Stage Girl who has never become conceited and continues to aim to be the best. Aiming to join the New National First Theater Troupe, she imposes strict lessons on herself even today. Maya-sama continues to be Maya-sama even in her third year.

Junna Hoshimi – “I myself emit glimmering lights… A lighthouse star on the Evening Star!” A Stage Girl who keeps taking on stage plays with her vast amount of reading and solid knowledge, she is the most talented girl since the inception of Seisho Music Academy. She was once desperate to catch up with the frontrunners of the scene, but now aims to be a “dazzling protagonist” and sets her eyes far ahead in her own future. She is the former 99th Student Council President of Seisho Music Academy.

Mahiru Tsuyuzaki – “I will decide my own drama… burning myself like the Sun!” Karen and Hikari’s roommate. She is a cheerful Stage Girl with a vast range of expressiveness, and is looked up to by her juniors, but can get extraordinarily scary when angered. She gave Hikari a push of motivation and sent her on her way to share the fated stage play with Karen. She aims to join the New National First Theater Troupe, in order to become a Star who brings smiles to everyone.

Nana Daiba – “I’ll… go slicing for a bit.” She is Junna’s roommate, and at the same time, a Stage Girl with extraordinary talent in both performing and stage creation. She often has the chance to bake together with Mahiru, and she is affectionately nicknamed “Banana.” She loves everyone who helps to create the stage together, and that is the reason why she sometimes shows a ruthless side.

Claudine Saijo – “Thanks to you and my unjustified resentment!” She is a former child actress who has starred in numerous stage plays and movies from a young age. A pure-hearted and highly experienced Stage Girl who knows the ropes of a stage play. Although she honed her skills against Maya as her greatest rival, she returned to her roots in France after graduation and is slated to join a revue in Paris.

Futaba Isurugi – “I don’t want to see a version of you who’s good-mannered and runs neatly!” Unmatched when it comes to sword fights and action. She is a Stage Girl with great expressive power hidden in her small frame. She and Kaoruko have been stuck together since young. They both enrolled in the same school, and she drives them both to and from school on her motorbike. However, she has decided to walk her own path by accepting the challenge of the New National First Theater Troupe, and has entrusted her beloved bike to Kaoruko.

Kaoruko Hanayagi – “A competitive performance between the top stars of the Senka-ryu School and New National… I’d like such a stage play, someday.” The granddaughter of the head of the family that runs the Senka-ryu School of Japanese Dance. After graduation, she returned to Kyoto. She is a Stage Girl who lives a life of history and traditions, and will succeed the name of the 12th Head of Family, “Suisen Hanayagi.” After a huge quarrel, she accepts Futaba’s chosen path and sends her on her way. She is currently considering what to do with the motorbike that Futaba left behind with her, while grumbling that it is “a bother.”

Kiriko Masai and Shion Amemiya – “We are from the Stage Play Creation Program, in 99th Class Group B!” “In order to create an even stronger, even better Position Zero, become even greedier!” From the 99th Class Group B Stage Play Creation Program. Amemiya writes scripts with all her body and soul, while Masai flutters around controlling the stage. The two are also roommates. They stand at the forefront of Group B, having worked on many of the 99th Class’s stage plays, taking on hardships even while clashing and arguing. Before their final summer in the exchange program, they challenge making a stage play with a certain resolve in their hearts.

Judy Knightley – “If you seek a new universe… tear apart your wailing, and overcome the sea of blood!” A Stage Girl who boasts having top grades at London’s Royal Institute of Dramatic Arts, a school that is renowned for being the hardest in the world to get into. With outstanding acting skills and expressiveness that has been lauded even in the British theater world, she is a professional stage actress with a promising future. She has arrived at Seisho Music Academy for an exchange program, and stands in the way of the students in the 99th Class with her overwhelming brilliance.

[Update: Added the opening movie.]

MITOS EN AMÉRICA

MITO 7: LA SANTA INQUISICIÓN MATÓ A MILLONES DE INDÍGENAS

En el MITO 5 ya hablamos sobre la evangelización en América, así que no lo vamos a tratar de nuevo y tampoco vamos a hablar sobre la inquisición en otros reinos de Europa, solo vamos a tocar a lo referente a la península y la América española.

Una vez más nos encontramos ante otro mito muy extendido, donde se dice que la inquisición mató a millones de indígenas. Resumiéndolo muy brevemente la Santa Inquisición ni tan siquiera podía juzgar a los indígenas, pues nunca tuvo jurisdicción sobre los indígenas. El rey de España ordenaba «que los inquisidores nunca procediesen contra los indios, sino contra los cristianos viejos y sus descendientes y las otras personas contra quien en estos reinos de España se suele proceder».

¡¡De hecho, incluso hubo indígenas que fueron inquisidores!! En el siglo xvii, el arequipeño Don Juan Nuñez Vela de Ribera, representando a los "illustres Cavalleros Ingas del Reino del Perú" (la Nobleza incaica), le solicitó al rey de España que "Su Magestad se sirviesse de admitir a los indios a ser Ministros del Santo Oficio de la Inquisición", en base a que ya estaban en condiciones de tener la calidad de cristianos viejos, limpios y nobles.

El Consejo Supremo de Inquisidores, presidido por Don Diego Sarmiento Valladares, aprobó la propuesta, fundamentando que son "diez los inquisidores que avalan la petición a favor de los indios nobles".

Siendo así que el rey de España aprobó la solicitud que reconocía que los indios nobles, en general para toda la Monarquía Hispánica, pudieran acceder a la Sagrada Congregación del Santo Oficio de la Inquisición.

El rey de España confirió el acceso de los indios nobles a todos los cargos seculares y eclesiásticos en las iglesias, capellanías, colegios, catedrales y puestos militares:

"De que puedan acceder los indios a los puestos eclesiásticos o seculares, gubernativos, políticos, y de guerra, que todos piden limpieza de sangre, y por estatuto la calidad de nobles”. Carlos II, 1697.

"Los Señores del Consejo Supremo de la Santa General Inquisición que a nuestro poderosisimo Inca Don Carlos II, Augustisimo Emperador de la América, hicieron la consulta de que Su Majestad se sirviese de admitir a los indios a ser Ministros del Santo Oficio, fueron en dicho Supremo Consejo, un decreto de Su Majestad en que se confirmaba la dicha consulta. Siendo virrey el Excelentísimo Señor Don Melchor Portocarrero Laso de la Vega, Conde de la Moncloba.

Ejemplo de indígenas en la inquisición podrían ser Don Eugenio de Santa Cruz, un indio noble del siglo xviii, natural de Pampanga, que llegó a ser Juez Provisor del Obispado del Santísimo Nombre de Jesús y Calificador del Santo Oficio de la Inquisición en Filipinas.

EN NUEVA ESPAÑA

Se estima que un aproximado de 300 personas fueron llevadas a juicio a lo largo de los tres siglos que duró EL VIRREINATO, y no miles, como cuentan las leyendas y mitos de la inquisición en la Nueva España, de acuerdo con los estudios realizados por la investigadora Consuelo Maquívar de la Dirección de Estudios Históricos del Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia (INAH).

De esas 300 personas, se estima que tan solo unas 43 fueron condenadas a muerte, todas ellas de origen europeo. 17 personas fueron ajusticiadas en el siglo XVI, en el siglo XVII 25 y una en el siglo XVIII y en el XIX ninguna.

También resultan falsos los diferentes métodos y artilugios de tortura que suele haber en museos de llamados de la “inquisición”. Ojo, vuelvo a repetir que hablamos de la inquisición española, desconozco el proceso inquisitorial en otros países.

------------------------------------------

BRUJERÍA

La caza de brujas en España tuvo una intensidad mucho menor que en otros países europeos (especialmente Francia, Inglaterra y Alemania), ya que la Inquisición mantuvo una actitud escéptica hacia los casos de brujería, considerando, a diferencia de los inquisidores del resto de países europeos, que se trataba de una mera superstición sin base alguna.

Es decir, en España estaba totalmente prohibido juzgar a una persona por brujería sin prueba alguna como era costumbre en Inglaterra, Francia o Alemania.

Un dato importante a resaltar en España era que si una mujer mataba a sus hijos, probablemente era acusada de bruja y sería condenada a la hoguera, es decir, que en realidad era condenada a muerte por infanticidio, no en sí por “bruja”.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Para empezar, ¿que era la inquisición? Hay quienes la comparan con los sacrificios humanos que practicaban lagunas civilizaciones prehispánicas, evidentemente desde el desconocimiento.

La Santa Inquisición era ni más ni menos que un tribunal bajo el control de la Corona Española.

¿Cuál era su función? La de juzgar aquellos delitos que atentaban contra la fe católica.

Como en todo juicio, había un acusado, su defensa y la acusación.

¿Cómo llegaba una persona a ser acusada? Por una denuncia anónima o directamente denunciado por la misma institución.

La Santa inquisición tenía una amplia red de delatores y confidentes anónimos, pero un dato muy poco conocido es que acusado se le permitía nombrar si tenía algún enemigo. Si el nombre de su enemigo coincidía con el del denunciante, el acusado era absuelto automáticamente. Esto se hacía para evitar las típicas rencillas y peleas vecinales o por otro tipo de intereses.

Además, en España, el juez decidía si la parte que acusaba había aportado las pruebas suficientes para demostrar lo que afirmaba. Para evitar las acusaciones sin fundamento el que acusaba corría el riesgo de ser condenado a la misma pena que le hubiera correspondido al acusado si lo que afirmaba se demostraba que era falso.

Como en todo juicio hay un veredicto, y este podían ser varios:

-1. El acusado podía ser absuelto.

- 2.El proceso podía ser «suspendido», con lo que en la práctica el acusado quedaba libre, aunque bajo sospecha, y con la amenaza de que su proceso se continuase en cualquier momento. La suspensión era una forma de absolver en la práctica sin admitir expresamente que la acusación había sido errónea.

- 3.El acusado podía ser «penitenciado». Era el menor de los castigos que se imponían. El culpable debía abjurar públicamente de sus delitos y después cumplir un castigo espiritual o corporal. Entre estos se encontraban el sambenito, el destierro (temporal o perpetuo), multas o incluso la condena a galeras.

-4. El acusado podía ser «reconciliado». Además de la ceremonia pública en la que el condenado se reconciliaba con la Iglesia Católica (el auto de fe), existían penas más severas, entre ellas largas condenas de cárcel o galeras, y la confiscación de todos sus bienes. También existían castigos físicos, como los azotes. Los reconciliados no podían ocupar cargos eclesiásticos ni empleos públicos, así como tampoco podían ejercer determinadas profesiones, como recaudador de impuestos, médico, cirujano o farmacéutico. La inhabilitación se extendía a sus hijos y nietos, aunque estos podían librarse de ella pagando una multa llamada de composición.

- 5. El máximo castigo era la «relajación» al brazo secular, que implicaba la muerte en la hoguera. Recibían esta pena los herejes impenitentes y los reincidentes. La ejecución era pública. Si el condenado se arrepentía, se le estrangulaba mediante el garrote vil antes de entregar su cuerpo a las llamas. Si no, era quemado vivo.

Kamen confirma que las condenas a muerte entre 1560 y 1700 solo eran del 0,7%. En el siglo xviii las "relajaciones" disminuyeron aún más y así durante los reinados de Carlos III y Carlos IV solo cuatro personas murieron en la hoguera.

Además era un proceso garantista, es decir, los condenados tenían derecho a apelar al Consejo de la Suprema Inquisición.

LOS DATOS:

Las primeras estimaciones cuantitativas del número de procesados y ejecutados por la Inquisición española las ofreció Juan Antonio Llorente, que fue secretario general de la Inquisición de 1789 a 1801 y publicó en 1822 Historia crítica de la Inquisición. Según Llorente, a lo largo de su historia la Inquisición habría procesado a un total de 341.021 personas, de las cuales algo menos de un 10 % (31.912) habrían sido condenadas (culpables, lo cual no quiere decir que fueron condenados a muerte). Según García Cárcel estima que podría pensarse que una cifra aproximada puede estar en torno a las 3000 condenados a muerte.

Aunque los historiadores modernos han emprendido el estudio de los fondos documentales de la Inquisición. En los archivos de la Suprema, actualmente en el Archivo Histórico Nacional, se conservan, en los informes que anualmente debían remitir todos los tribunales locales, las relaciones de todas las causas desde 1560 hasta 1700. Ese material proporciona información de 49.092 juicios, que han sido estudiados por Gustav Henningsen y Jaime Contreras. Según los cálculos de estos autores, un 1,9 % de los procesados fue quemado en la hoguera.

Stephen Haliczer, uno de los profesores universitarios que trabajaron en los archivos del Santo Oficio, dice que descubrió que los inquisidores usaban la tortura «con poca frecuencia» y generalmente durante menos de 15 minutos. De 7000 casos en Valencia, en menos del 2 % se usó la tortura y nadie la sufrió más de dos veces. Más aún, el Santo Oficio tenía un manual de procedimiento que prohibía muchas formas de tortura usadas en otros sitios de Europa. Los inquisidores eran en su mayoría hombres de leyes, escépticos en cuanto al valor de la tortura para descubrir la herejía.

UNDRGRND DIGS 056

3AM. by Daniel W.

ORIGINALLY POSTED 12/26/22 ON UNDRGRND.IO

5 Artists From the UNDRGRND Collection

UNDRGRND DIGS is a periodical feature showcasing artists that the UNDRGRND curators dig. We sift through the social media and NFT platforms to find the best artists waiting to be discovered. UNDRGRND believes in the artists we feature and we will purchase NFTs from each artist featured.

View the Tezos UNDRGRND Collection

______________________________________________________________

Daniel W.

AVAILABLE ON OBJKT.COM

You can feel the paper these aren’t printed on. Each work by Daniel W. looks as if it were printed in an old newspaper comic section. However, no parent would allow their children to read these comics. Daniel W.’s series The Old Building manages to create a setting so off-putting with so little context. Daniel can unnerve his audience with the right amount of minimalism to set the scene and let it breathe with its haunting breath.

______________________________________________________________

Prireza

AVAILABLE ON OBJKT.COM

Every time you find one Indonesian artist creating incredible graffiti-influenced art, another is waiting to blow you away. It should be no surprise now that UNDRGRND loves many Indonesian artists. Prireza continues our infatuation with them. Each work showcases the ever-expanding universe that is beyond what we experience physically and can begin to experience emotionally, spiritually and metaphysically.

______________________________________________________________

Alexis Hartwell

AVAILABLE ON OBJKT.COM

It’s fun watching an artist grow and find a style that perfectly represents them. With the help of AI, Alexis Hartwell has taken her art to the next level. These neon pop art portraits will burn your retinas, melt your face and you’ll come back for more and more. This is what we wanted the ‘90s to look like (and felt like they did at the time), but only through the art of Alexis can we experience our technicolor dream world.

______________________________________________________________

Kagan

AVAILABLE ON OBJKT.COM

There’s something refreshing about Kagan’s off-centered creations. What normally may have fallen victim to being drowned in a sea of other talented artists able to create beautifully flowing 3D renders now stands out by showcasing the background layer from Photoshop. Much like when Beeple created the cover for Time Magazine Kagan is reminding their audience that these digital creations do not magically appear. These works of art are created by digital artists that take time and care to perfect their craft.

______________________________________________________________

Jamile Cavallero

AVAILABLE ON OBJKT.COM

Jamile Cavallero blends Basquiat, gif, and digital painting to create these surreal self-portraits. Each scene quickly flips back and forth changing the background while the subject typically remains unchanged. We could look at this as individuals surviving ever-changing chaotic situations. Jamile will also change the face of the subject at times signifying our duplicitous nature with the world. Regardless of the meaning or interpretations, Jamile Cavallero’s work deserves to be dissected more.

______________________________________________________________

Each UNDRGRND DIGS will feature artists our curators have purchased for the UNDRGRND Collection.

Audio

Here’s another song by La Fúmiga, one of the most popular Valencian bands of the moment. This bittersweet disco-ish song is called L’orquestra del Titànic (“The Titanic’s Orchestra”).

As always, here’s the original lyrics in Valencian-Catalan and the translation to English.

Jack té tanta sort que guanya la partida. Rose buscant l’amor com una fugitiva. Van a Nova York, volen canviar de vida. Busquen el seu port, tancar-se la ferida.

Jack is so lucky that he wins the game. Rose, looking for love like a fugitive. They’re going to New York, they want to change their lives. They seek their harbour, the healing of their wound.

No entenen per què allà enmig de l’Atlàntic creua un iceberg i no els sembla romàntic. I ara què farem? Pregunta Rose a Jacky. Crec que marxarem. Hauríem de ser ràpids.

They don’t understand why there, in the middle of the Atlantic, an iceberg is crossing them, and they don’t find it romantic. “What will we do now?” Rose asks Jacky. “I think we’ll leave. We should be quick.”

I mentrestant Rèquiem final. L’orquestra acaba d’arribar. No man, no cry. We will survive. Everything’s gonna be alright.

And meanwhile, a final Requiem. The orchestra has just arrived. No man, no cry. We will survive. Everything’s gonna be alright.

Un mal dia, massa forta la tempesta, i una vida que s’apaga entre la festa. Una trista història que sempre ens recorda que la música no para fins que la nit no s’acaba.

A bad day, a storm too strong, and a life that fades among the party. A sad story that always reminds us that the music doesn’t stop until the night is over.

Roger el francès, meravellós cellista, tan amic de Fred, el millor pianista. No es van atrevir fins a l’última peça, res els va prohibir besar-se amb la tendresa que van amagar quasi tota la vida. El seu últim ball ningú els el llevaria, protagonitzant la més bonica història que mai s’ha contat i que ningú recorda.

Roger the Frenchman, a wonderful cellist, such a good friend of Fred’s, the best pianist. They didn’t dare until the last song, nothing could ban them from kissing with the tenderness that they had hidden almost all their lives. Nobody could take their last dance from them, starring in the most beautiful story that has ever been told and that nobody remembers.

“Cavalleros, ha sido un honor tocar con ustedes esta noche.” [Voice from the Spanish dub of the film Titanic that says “Gentlemen, it has been an honour to play with you this evening.”]

I mentrestant, Rèquiem final. L’orquestra acaba d’arribar. No man, no cry. We will survive. Everything’s gonna be alright.

And meanwhile, a final Requiem. The orchestra has just arrived. No man, no cry. We will survive. Everything’s gonna be alright.

Un mal dia, massa forta la tempesta. I una vida que s’apaga entre la festa. Una trista història que sempre ens recorda que la música no para fins que la nit no s’acaba.

A bad day, a storm too strong. And a life that fades among the party. A sad story that always reminds us that the music doesn’t stop until the night is over.

Salvavides contra l’amor impossible que naufraga congelant-se sense ritme. Un fade out titànic, salvem-nos del pànic. Si la nau s’enfonsa al teu costat serà menys tràgic.

Life jackets against the impossible love that gets shipwrecked freezing without rhythm. A titanic fade-out, let’s save us from the panic. If the ship sinks, it will be less tragic by your side.

January ~ April Reading Review

Rounding up what I read in the first months of 2023!

Favorites in Comics, Fiction, and Nonfiction:

Comics

The Karman Line

by Mitsuhashi Kotaro

Reading this comic was like being suffused in the calm, blue hour of evening. The deep blue ink was an amazing choice. One of my favorite comics of the year so far! Mitsuhashi is a graphic designer and his compositions and design sense certainly have the unique approach he’d strived for. I wish I could read the student manga magazine these were originally published in.

Yowamushi Pedal & Yowamushi Pedal SPARE BIKE by Watanabe Wataru (scanlated the SPARE BIKE chapter with my sister…)

So fun, drew this a lot. I love sports manga! I really appreciate the art style for its whimsy and am in awe of his speed (from his Manben episode…)

Natsume’s Book of Friends vol. 25 & 26 by Yuki Midorikawa

Drawing this incessantly lol. I’ve liked it for a long time but I think now I can really appreciate the art style of the manga more. Kind of fits the theme of episodic shorts with a through-line about supernatural beings (like The Cabinet, Where the Wild Ladies Are, which are my fiction picks below)

Not All Girls Are Stupid by Minami Q-ta

I don’t particularly like her story telling about romance lol and definitely prefer Pop Life but her art style and subtlety are soo charming

A Favorable Wind on Full Sails by Arantoochika

The stories don’t really grab you but the art style, rough as it is, has a very indie appeal. I like how the night scenes and light in general are rendered

Lianhuanhua (5 different ones) from Paradise Systems

Cool little format…I want to make one!

Mermaid Town by Tsugawa Tomohiro

Dreams as manga, I liked the first one best

Think I’ve Still Got It! by Wang XX

Cute and the book design is great…the middle story about Seal having to do an unethical job for low pay lmao

Eyeshield 21 (rereading but mostly watching the Anime) by Inagaki Riichiro and Murata Yusuke

Football….Murata can really draw! Alas, he is a bisexual misogynist (the vibes of one punch man especially) and clearly a legs and ass guy…

Fiction

The Cabinet

by Un-Su Kim translated by Sean Lin-Halbert

I made a pitch deck about this one. Kind of a wild book…I loved it, obviously.

Where the Wild Ladies Are

by Aoko Matsuda, translated by Polly Barton

Also in my pitch deck. This is a series of short story feminist re-tellings of traditional Japanese folk stories. A great, light-hearted read with a fun through line that by the end links each story together in a fun way.

Ancillary Justice

by Ann Leckie

This one made me crazy for a few days and I’m really looking forward to finishing the trilogy! I love when the man-made city-like thing is sentient, and I love politically charged world-building.

The Employees by Olga Ravn

This actually works as an interesting companion piece to Ancillary Justice with some similar themes (humanoids who’s primary purpose is as employees on a space ship among human crew)

The Wedding Party by Liu Xinwu translated by Jeremy Tiang

Kind of a slog to get through but if you, like me, have interest in post Cultural Revolution life in Beijing this is apparently one of The Books about it

Nonfiction

Carceral Capitalism

by Jackie Wang

My first book of the year and a great text for me to get into nonfiction reading this year. As someone who hasn’t read too widely in this domain before, I found it very comprehensive. If the title and it’s implications (to be clear, a big one is anti-black racism in the US) intrigue you in any way, it’s probably my top nonfiction recommendation so far this year.

A Feminist Reading of Debt

by Lucí Cavallero and Verónica Gago, translated by Liz Mason-Deese

A manifesto about why debt is a feminist issue, written in context of the Argentinian feminism movement starting in 2016. While my understanding of finance and the mechanism of debt is still rudimentary, I feel that this was a good all-round, short capsule of many topics worth delving into and counts as an international feminist must read according to me.

How to Read Donald Duck: Imperialist Ideology in the Disney Comic

by Ariel Dorfman and Armand Mattelart, translated by David Kunzle

Anti-imperial media critique my beloved. This book was burned, dumped into the ocean, and otherwise systematically destroyed in the days following the 1973 CIA-backed right-wing coup and neoliberal regime in Chile. Footnote that the US refused to condemn the book burning against almost every other nation in the UN because of course they did. Evidently it’s hard-hitting stuff to critique Disney. Awesome to read this edition for all the extras on the Disney copyright foolery involved in keeping this book from reaching English language audiences until this one released in 2020. If your media critique hurts fascists and corporations this badly you’re doing it so right.

Race For Profit: How Banks and the Real Estate Industry Undermined Black Homeownership by Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor

A very thorough profile of the period in time during which the US government housing policy set the tone for Black homeownership and Black urban housing. For me it kind of set the scene to understand some of the issues of housing, credit, and racism.

Bankers and Empire: How Wall Street Colonized the Caribbean by Peter James Hudson

As the title says! Not a lot of analysis but rather a walk through the time line of the early 1900s US expansion into foreign banking in the Caribbean, was helpful to get a grasp of how financial imperialism works.
