A history of Ideas across Archival Fragments
1. It is one of the greatest privileges of my career to date to be offered the opportunity to engage with essays penned by six esteemed scholars in response to Slavery and Freedom in Black Thought
Slavery and Freedom in Black Thought in the Early Spanish Atlantic
Weaving together thousands of archival fragments, this study explores a shared Black Atlantic world where the meanings of slavery and freedom were fiercely contested and claimed. It recreates the worlds of extraordinary individuals and communities in the long sixteenth century, whilst mapping the development of early modern Black thought about slavery and freedom. From a free Black mother's embarkation license to cross the Atlantic Ocean, to an e…
Black Thought in European History
Blood and Boundaries
The Holy Office of the Inquisition in Lima arrested Manuel Bautista Pérez in 1635 on accusations that he was the leader of Peru's secret Jews and sentenced him to death in 1639. Bautista Pérez was a Portuguese converso merchant who had become one of Lima's wealthiest residents and who exerted significant influence and power in the city. Inquisitors arrested Bautista Pérez during investigations in the 1630s into some of Lima's most commercially su…
Callejeando Sevilla histórica
Este ensayo incluye una unidad pedagógica que se centra en una caminata por las calles de Sevilla, España. El acto de andar y hablar puede resultar transformativo para los estudiantes siempre y cuando el/la profesor/a aproveche la oportunidad para identificar y reemplazar las actitudes discriminatorias con epistemologías más permeables y reflexivas. Partiendo de la caminata, desarrollamos una pedagog a antirracista enfocando en la larga historia …
L'imaginaire éthiopien dans le premier monde hispanique
Parmi les nombreuses « vérités » répandues dans la recherche sur la couleur de peau noire dans le monde ibérique du xvi e et du début du xvii e siècle, on retrouve souvent l'idée que la notion de pureté du sang a conduit les penseurs ibériques à exclure d'office les Africains de toute possibilité de revendiquer le statut de Vieux Chrétiens. Cette perspective biaisée a occulté de nombreux discours produits au cours de cette période en lien avec l'…
Margarita de Sossa, Sixteenth-Century Puebla de los Ángeles, New Spain (Mexico)
Margarita de Sossa’s freedom journey was defiant and entrepreneurial. In her early twenties, still enslaved in Portugal, she took possession of her body; after refusing to endure her owner’s sexual demands, he sold her, and she was transported to Mexico. There, she purchased her freedom with money earned as a healer and then conducted an enviable business as an innkeeper. Sossa’s biography provides striking insights into how she conceptualized fr…
Intellectual Histories of the Black Atlantic
Scholarship that has embraced pervasive ‘truths’ about the meaning of black skin colour in the sixteenth and early seventeenth-century Iberian world—primarily, that Iberians’ visions of purity of blood led Iberian thinkers to exclude Black Africans from the possibility of claiming an Old Christian status—has rendered invisible various discourses pertaining to Africa, Catholicism, Blackness and slavery in this period, and also the important intell…
Black Africans’ Freedom Litigation Suits to Define Just War and Just Slavery in the Early Spanish Empire
This article explores how some enslaved Black Africans litigated for their freedom in Spanish royal courts in the sixteenth century on the basis that—as Christians—they had been unjustly enslaved in Africa. With a focus on the port cities of Seville and Cartagena, I explore how freedom litigation suits illuminate how individuals from starkly different social worlds and intellectual milieus—who inhabited the same urban sites—affected and shaped on…
They Are Blacks of the Caste of Black Christians
Hundreds of Castilian free black men and women obtained royal travel licenses to cross the Atlantic in the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries as black Old Christians. They settled across the Spanish Indies and developed trades as artisans, traders, sailors, healers, and small business owners, often becoming prominent and wealthy vecinos (residents). Exploring these often obscure and long-invisible biographies of individuals, the article re…
