Beyond the margins
This article examines the paradoxical status of eight Afro-Iberian musicians at the court of Philip IV of Spain. Documented from 1657 onwards, these men occupied a hybrid position: though referred to in archival sources as enslaved, they were afforded the markers of professional artists, including specialized training, royal patronage and financial provision. Drawing on fragmentary archival evidence and methodological frameworks from Saidiya Hart…
Black Voices in Early Modern Spanish Literature, 1500-1750

Sevilla fue uno de los puertos más operativos del triángulo esclavista, por lo que, desde 1490 hasta, por lo menos, 1700, muchos africanos esclavizados en el Golfo de Guinea se transpor…
