Antona’s Suit
Antona, originally from Upper Guinea, raised a family in Mexico’s Black Pacific. Her story, memorialized in a freedom suit from 1597, suggests that framing survival as agency helps us reconstruct the experiences of people in a way that accounts for the complexity of power in their historical contexts
Introduction
As If She Were Free
As If She Were Free brings together the biographies of twenty-four women of African descent to reveal how enslaved and recently freed women sought, imagined, and found freedom from the sixteenth through the nineteenth centuries in the Americas. Our biographical approach allows readers to view large social processes – migration, trade, enslavement, emancipation – through the perspective of individual women moving across the boundaries of slavery a…
The Atlantic World and the Manila Galleons
Merchants, Markets, and Exchange in the Pre-Columbian World
Merchants, Markets, and Exchange in the Pre-Columbian World is a collection of essays by archaeologists of Mesoamerica and the Andes. It derives from a conference at Dumbarton Oaks that asked participants to present research that challenged accepted economic models for understanding “ancient” economies in the New World (typically characterized by economists as less complex than those in the Old World). The resulting chapters offer a revisionist p…

Estudios afrolatinoamericanos
Título original: Afro-Latin American Studies. 1a ed.: Cambridge : Cambridege Uhiversity Press, 2018. Este libro tiene el objetivo de introducir al lector en un campo dinámico y en expansión como es el de los estudios afrolatinoamericanos. Definimos este campo, en primer lugar, como un estudio de la población de ascendencia africana en América Latina y, en segundo lugar, como el estudio de las sociedades en las que vive dicha población. En relació…
Representations of China and Europe in the Writings of Diego de Pantoja
In the late sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, when slaves from Asia found themselves in Spain, they were usually called Chinos. Many of these Asians, however, preferred to identify themselves as Indios, a term that was generally understood in Spain to designate the indigenous people of the country’s colonies. The reason for this preference was simple: the term Indio connoted freedom, while Chino was associated with slavery. Hence, enslaved peo…
Inns, mules, and hardtack for the voyage
This article argues that, in Mexico, the Manila Galleon fostered local manufacturing, promoted regional trade networks, and enabled Indians and people of mixed ancestry to participate in a monetized economy along with Spanish colonists. Several activities related to the ships’ annual embarkment at Acapulco illustrate this economic impact, including the delivery of provisions like hardtack, the transportation of merchandise, and the administration…
Asian migrations to Latin America in the Pacific World, 16th–19th centuries
This historiographical essay discusses Asian migrations to Latin America from a Pacific World perspective and employs a longue‐durée periodization. The Pacific World paradigm offers a path for studying the movement of people and ideas as multi‐directional flows that impacted communities around the Pacific basin. The pre‐1900 century timeframe similarly urges scholars to move beyond nation‐bound narratives and to consider instead the long‐standing…
The Persistence of the slave market in seventeenth-century Central Mexico
This study, based on an extensive notarial database, demonstrates the significance of slavery in Central Mexico during the seventeenth century. Thousands of bills of sale from Mexico City and Puebla – the largest and most lucrative slave markets in the region – show that the slave trade did not collapse with the end of the Portuguese asiento in 1640. A growing population of American-born creoles sustained the market during the subsequent decades,…
Asian Slaves in Colonial Mexico
During the late sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, countless slaves from culturally diverse communities in the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia journeyed to Mexico on the ships of the Manila Galleon. Upon arrival in Mexico, they were grouped together and categorized as chinos. Their experience illustrates the interconnectedness of Spain's colonies and the reach of the crown, which brought people together from Africa, the Americas, Asia an…
The Portuguese Slave Trade to Spanish Manila
Catarina de San Juan was a slave woman who was brought to the Philippines in the 1610s on her way to Mexico, where she became a beata of great renown. Her experiences in the slave markets of Cochin and Manila suggest that Portuguese traders played a key role as the primary suppliers of Asian slaves to the Philippines. This paper argues that Portuguese slavers made a significant contribution to the Manila economy by providing an important labour f…
