Thank you for taking the time to engage with my work! Masonic movements were absolutely on my mind during the writing process, but with everything else I was tracing, I found myself without the space to fully explore these significant Atlantic networks, as essential as they were to social and political organization of Afro-Creole communities. My father-in-law, who is a Mason in Mexico, has deepened my appreciation for these connections, so I’m grateful that you’ve brought this into focus. Perhaps this could inspire a follow-up article down the line. Thanks again for reading the book and for your insights on the blues and the music!
Thank you Ben for commenting. Hanukah came a little early and I'm deeply enjoying your book. Your chapter on labor organizations is very relevant here too. I'd love to hear what you make of the Masonic connections if you ever get around to it. Congrats again on Brassroots Democracy.
