Happy Candlemas! I was honored to attend an activity at last night at the Museo de Arte de Puerto Rico, where Taina Caragol, Kate Clarke Lemay, and Carolina Maestre presented their book 1898: Visual Culture and U.S. Imperialism in the Caribbean and the Pacific (Princeton University Press, 2023), a stunningly beautiful coffee table tome full of illustrations and maps that was published last year to commemorate their ground-breaking art exhibition on North American imperialism at the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C. (The exhibition was curated by Caragol, Clarke Lemay, and Maestre and runs until the 25th of this month.) Shout out to my colleague and friend Gustavo Gelpi for providing me a copy of the book and to the curators of this excellent exhibition for signing my copy.
