This episode will be conducted in Spanish, in line with the podcast's aim to de-center urban knowledge production by showcasing distinctive urban perspectives, and linguistic viewpoints.
We are thrilled to introduce you to the second episode of our series on Urban Polycrisis!
Join us for an episode in Spanish exploring the complex urban racial politics of Cartagena, Colombia. In this conversation with historians Javier Ortiz Cassiani and Orlando Deavila Pertuz, we dive into the city’s colonial past and explore how its racialised legacies shape contemporary urban life. We discuss how conflict, violence, and displacement have shaped racial politics, from Cartagena’s role in the transatlantic slave trade to its recent remaking as a tourist hub. The episode also looks at how Afro-descendant communities resist urban segregation and dispossession, offering insights into broader issues of racism and Blackness in urban Colombia and Latin America today.
