Alejandra Bronfman’s (History) current research revolves around a book project, Talking Machines: Histories of Sound, Violence and Technology in the Caribbean, which records the unwritten histories of radio and related sonic technologies in the Caribbean. Drawing from recent scholarship that traces networks as they cross, ignore, or in some instances, reify national borders, her research attends to media and communications technologies driven by capital flows, imperial projects and regional political mobilizations.
