African Kings and Black Slaves
As early as 1441, and well before other European countries encountered Africa, small Portuguese and Spanish trading vessels were plying the coast of West Africa, where they conducted business with African kingdoms that possessed significant territory and power. In the process, Iberians developed an understanding of Africa's political landscape in which they recognized specific sovereigns, plotted the extent and nature of their polities, and group…
Black Mexico
Colonial Blackness
What light is shed upon old topics when new sources are examined! In this major work on Afro-Mexican and, really, general Spanish American history, Bennett (CUNY) prowls through the neglected Mexican archival records dealing with marriages (matrimonios) and religious peccadilloes (bienes nacionales, inquisicion). Essentially ignoring the traditional topics of enslavement, labor laws, work discipline, and resistance, Bennett uncovers a vibrant bla…

Africans in Colonial Mexico
Sons of Adam
Seeking to dislodge the prism that a singular political practice-represented as the story from savage to slave-informed the slave trade, this essay points to a distinct genealogy shaping the earliest encounters between Europeans and Africans
Africans in colonial Mexico
Scholarship on Mexico's place within the African Diaspora has experienced a veritable renaissance of late.Herman Bennett's book, Africans in Colonial Mexico, contributes to this effort by examining sixteenth-and seventeenth-century Mexico City, the capital of a colony that for much of this period held the second largest African slave population and the largest free black population in the Americas.Bennett scrutinizes the lives and process of comm…
Bearing Arms for His Majesty
The free colored experience represents an enigma in colonial Spanish American historiography. Even at slavery’s mid-seventeenth-century peak, New Spain’s free colored population outnumbered slaves, and the number of free coloreds continued to grow unabated into the eighteenth century. Throughout this period, New Spain’s free coloreds constituted the largest such population in all of the Americas. A comparable demographic trajectory characterized …
The Subject in the Plot
En tant que nouveau domaine et nouvelle categorie d'analyse, la diaspora africaine promet de re-tracer les histoires des Africains et de leurs descendants disperses. De quelles facons la promesse de la diaspora a-t-elle ete sapee par un heritage intellectuel anterieur. Centrant son analyse sur l'Etat-nation et sa genese dans la pensee allemande romantique du dix-neuvieme siecle et dans ses critiques, l'A. remet en question la relation non problem…
