Labor and love in Guatemala: The Eve of Independence
From the "Kingdoms of Angola" to Santiago de Guatemala: The Portuguese Asientos and Spanish Central America, 1595-1640
The evidence presented in this article establishes the era of the major Portuguese asientos (1595-1640) as a key moment in the history of African migration to Spanish Central America. Between 1607 and 1628 alone, Portuguese slave traders made at least 15 voyages from Angola to the Caribbean coast of Central America, landing in most cases "by accident" at the Honduran port of Trujillo while allegedly en route to Veracruz. Many of the West Central …
Blacks and Blackness in Central America: Between Race and Place
Many of the earliest Africans to arrive in the Americas came to Central America with Spanish colonists in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, and people of African descent constituted the majority of nonindigenous populations in the region long thereafter. Yet in the development of national identities and historical consciousness, Central American nations have often countenanced widespread practices of social, political, and regional exclusi…
A maroon moment: Rebel slaves in early seventeenth-century Guatemala
In the preface to a recent reissue of his classic anthology on maroon societies in the Americas, Richard Price says ‘resistance, rebellion, and marronage, and the existence of independent maroon co
Useful Enemies: Seventeenth-Century Piracy and the Rise of Pardo Militias in Spanish Central America
The seventeenth century was a pivotal moment in the history of enslaved African migrants and their descendants in those areas of colonial Spanish America characterized by the presence of dense indigenous populations
Transforming Mulatto Identity in Colonial Guatemala and El Salvador; 1670-1720
This article examines an important moment in the history of people of African origins in the region now encompassed by the republics of Guatemala and El Salvador. That moment has received relatively little attention in modern scholarship because the entire subject of the colonial African presence in the region was largely ignored until recently. The lingering effects of nineteenth-century scientific racism contributed to the "forgetting" of Afric…

Negros esclavos y libres en las ciudades hispanoamericanas
Our image of African slavery in the Americas, Carmen Bernand argues, has been unduly shaped by studies of the plantation economy. Historians, she says, have neglected the African experience in the Spanish American city, a key locus of Spanish American social and cultural development since the early colonial period. That neglect has hardly been complete; the author depends heavily on existing scholarship to make her case. Her book, nonetheless, of…
Marriage as Slave Emancipation in Seventeenth-Century Rural Guatemala
On the 17th of August 1671, Manuel de Morales, a 49-year-old Angolan slave employed on a Dominican-owned sugar plantation in the Pacific coastal hotlands of what is now the republic of Guatemala, came before a priest and declared his intention to marry. Accompanying Morales was his proposed spouse, Inés Hernández, an Indian widow from the nearby town of Escuintla, capital of the colonial Guatemalan corregimiento of Escuintepeque in which the Domi…
