When you think of international trade and globalization, you probably think it is a relatively modern phenomenon.

However, the roots of globalization actually go back thousands of years. 

While there were many products that were originally traded, there was one particular category of goods that drove trade like no other: spices. 

Spices are common and ubiquitous today, but centuries ago they were extremely prized and valuable.

Learn more about the spice trade and how it shaped the world we live in today, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Author Jabari Asim is out with a new novel called Yonder. The story follows a group of enslaved men and women who are forced to work on a plantation by day but dream together about freedom – and what's beyond the world they know – at night. Asim told NPR's Sacha Pfeiffer that he always writes with his ancestors looking over his shoulder: "I feel like I have a responsibility to honor that legacy of labor and sacrifice by doing the best I can and to take what it is that I do very seriously."
