  • Alien to my sex: Enslaved Women and Their Gendered Notions of Abuse in Eighteenth-Century Lima, Peru

    Frank “trey” Proctor, Frank Trey ProctorARTICLEJournal of women's history2019Cited by: 1References: 14

    Spanish imperial law empowered enslaved men and women to accuse slaveholders of abuse and have those complaints investigated and adjudicated by colonial magistrates. This article explores how enslaved women in eighteenth-century Peru began to articulate visions of slavery, fair treatment, and abuse as profoundly gendered in accusing their owners of abuse and how such articulations became reflected in imperial law. Women (and their advocates) adva…

    Frank “trey” ProctorARTICLEJournal of Social History2015Cited by: 7References: 11

    Imperial Spanish legal codes empowered slaves to accuse their masters of abuse or cruelty (sevicia or maltrato) in court and have those complaints investigated and adjudicated by colonial magistrates. Those masters found guilty of abusing a slave could, by law, be compelled to sell the offended slave to an owner who might treat them better. The consideration of such sevicia cases from late-colonial Lima, Peru, allows for the in-depth consideratio…

  • Imperial Subjects: Race and Identity in Colonial Latin America

    Frank “trey” ProctorARTICLEHispanic American Historical Review2012

    This impressive collection of essays highlights the difficulties inherent in writing about “race” and “identity” in the colonial period due in part to our inability to reach consensus on common terminology. The editors challenged the contributors to consider how colonials understood who they were as individuals, as members of various communities, and ultimately as imperial subjects, particularly when they employed discourses of difference in refe…

Yet, the experiences of the African diaspora in colonial Mexico specifically, and throughout the colonial New World more generally, remain largely understudied. Herman Bennett’s important study employs a rich and diverse documentary base—including marriage records and Inquisition and ecclesiastical court records…
