Queequeg's Coffin
At its heart, Queequeg’s Coffin calls for recognition of alternative, indigenous literacies in the Americas both prior to European penetration and during the period of contact between indigenous Americans and Europeans (and Americans of European descent). Specifically, this interesting new study examines literacy as a contested arena defined by the dialogue, or lack thereof, between indigenous and European forms of literacy and the consequences o…
Writing by Caste, Counting the Past
In June of 1739, what might have proven to be a festive early-summer afternoon celebrating the fiesta of Corpus Christi in Pátzcuaro (Mexico), instantaneously veered toward deadly combat when a fight broke out in the streets near a commonly used well in the San Augustín neighborhood, close by where the Corpus procession passed. The turn to violence occurred when two groups of men settled an apparently petty dispute with physical measures that ult…
Contested Mestizos, Alleged Mulattos
Late one December afternoon in 1731, Antonio Méndes and his friend Joseph Miguel de Alcaras made their way through the west central Mexican city of Pátzcuaro toward the plaza mayor. Their course took them past the house of the Spaniard don Vacilio Botello Mobellán.

Negros, mulatos, esclavos y libertos en la Costa Rica del siglo XVII
This work investigates the role played by people of African descent in the society and economy of seventeenth-century Costa Rica. The scope of examination transcends the provincial setting, as the author endeavors to locate the history of Afro– Costa Ricans within the broader context of colonial Spanish America in the dynamic Atlantic world of the 1600s. Using notarial and judicial records, Cáceres explores the issue of whether Costa Rica’s slave…
Race, Caste, and Status
In Spain’s American colonies, elite notions of race served as an instrument for perpetuating Spanish rule along practical administrative lines and reinforcing European notions of cultural superiority in the evolving American consciousness. Throughout the New World, the Spanish employed the concept of race to distinguish themselves from those over whom they claimed dominion. Specifically, the Spanish elaborated social identities that placed indivi…
