Episode 19: Peggy Brunache

Welcome to another episode of the Esoteric Negro!! This week our guest is Dr Peggy Brunache, a Haitian American archaeologist, lecturer, culinary consultant, and foodways specialist. Dr. Brunache grew up in Miami, Florida, and is the daughter of Caribbean immigrant parents from Haiti. Peggy found Anthropology at University, and later went on to earn her masters degree at the University of South Carolina at Columbia after having worked in cultural resource management for almost a decade. She then went on to gain her PhD from the University of Texas, where she focused her thesis on the narratives of enslaved women within Habitation La Mahaudière, Guadeloupe, Caribbean.

Dr Brunache now lives in Scotland, and lectures on the History of Atlantic Slavery at the University of Glasgow. She is also a prominent member of the SBA (Society for Black Archaeologists).

This was the focus of this week’s episode as we discussed the experience of international travel and the cultural differences of dealing with race as a Caribbean-American woman in the U.K. From establishing new roots, to the restriction places upon her as an international travel into her new home country, our conversation with Dr. Brunache was enlightening as it much as it was informative to her unique experience.

We hope you enjoy this episode and again we thank you for your support!
