This book was released on 2021 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Los márgenes de la esclavitud: resistencia, control y abolición en el Caribe y América Latina reúne ensayos que indagan distintos aspectos de la esclavitud africana en América Latina y el Caribe relacionados con las experiencias de los esclavizados, de los amos y de las autoridades. También se ocupa de la justificación de la esclavitud que se hizo desde distintos sectores, contenida en discursos, leyes e imágenes que construyeron un imaginario y formas de actuación que afloraron y perviven en la práctica cotidiana. A lo largo de la obra subyace la discriminación racial, al ser un fenómeno importante de las sociedades esclavistas y racializadas. El color de la piel fue uno de los factores que estableció las diferencias sociales, económicas y culturales, y generó percepciones, temores y rechazos. Un bloque importante de estudios se centra en la esclavitud como una institución jurídica sujeta a una compleja regulación. Reales órdenes, bandos de buen gobierno, decretos, reglamentos y códigos que se fueron dictando lo largo de los siglos formaron un complejo cuerpo legislativo de gran interés y utilidad para conocer el sistema esclavista desde el interior, así como los resquicios que dejó a los siervos para luchar por sus derechos. El esclavo no fue un sujeto pasivo. La documentación nos habla de la posibilidad que tenían de solicitar algún derecho o por ejemplo de cambiar de dueño. La manumisión estuvo presente desde el ordenamiento de las sociedades esclavistas hispanoamericanas en el siglo XVI como parte de la tradición jurídica romana y castellana. En las diferentes regiones que integraron el vasto imperio colonial se fue formando un estrato de “hombres de color” libres que adquirió importancia dentro del conjunto poblacional de origen africano en el transcurso de los siglos XVIII y XIX. Su reglamentación abarcó cualquier acción y ámbito relacionados con la esclavitud y los esclavos. Las normativas jurídicas en la mayoría de los casos hacían alusión o se centraban directamente en la necesidad de mantener la vigilancia y disciplina para preservar la seguridad pública y el orden. El temor a una rebelión de esclavos en el Caribe fue una constante en los gobernantes tras la Revolución de Saint-Domingue de 1791. Seguridad pública y orden se convirtieron en consignas especialmente tras la revolución de los esclavos cuya carga simbólica, por otra parte, recorrió la región alcanzando a las zonas en las que la esclavitud era el motor de la economía. A principios del siglo XIX algunas potencias europeas comenzaron a aplicar medidas que condujeron a la abolición, un proceso en el que intervinieron distintos agentes y factores de carácter económico, político, ideológico y socio-culturales. El análisis del proceso abolicionista también se realiza teniendo en cuenta el marco jurídico de la legislación que emanó de las Cortes de Cádiz en 1812 y de las leyes abolicionistas que para el caso de Puerto Rico y Cuba se dictaron en la década de 1870. Tras el fin de la esclavitud, la incorporación de los ex esclavos a la nación fueron procesos de larga duración en los que interactuaron diferentes agentes y factores, económicos, sociales, políticos, ideológicos y culturales.

Download or read book Blacks and Blackness in Central America written by Lowell Gudmundson and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2010-10-18 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 exclusion of blacks. The postcolonial development of mestizo or mixed-race ideologies of national identity have systematically downplayed African ancestry and social and political involvement in favor of Spanish and Indian heritage and contributions. In addition, a powerful sense of place and belonging has led many peoples of African descent in Central America to identify themselves as something other than African American, reinforcing the tendency of local and foreign scholars to see Central America as peripheral to the African diaspora in the Americas. The essays in this collection begin to recover the forgotten and downplayed histories of blacks in Central America, demonstrating the centrality of African Americans to the region’s history from the earliest colonial times to the present. They reveal how modern nationalist attempts to define mixed-race majorities as “Indo-Hispanic,” or as anything but African American, clash with the historical record of the first region of the Americas in which African Americans not only gained the right to vote but repeatedly held high office, including the presidency, following independence from Spain in 1821.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collection of essyas reflecting an important structural feature of the slave trade: its circularity. Starting with the removal from Africa, the collection then carries into discussions of ethnic identity, religion and creolisation. Comparitive essays develop the theme of root experience in Africa against the facts of life for disenfranchised slaves, painting a picture of a cohesive worldview shaped by the slave voyage and African beliefs. The collection returns to Africa with analyses of the impact on Africa of formerly slaveholding nations.
Download or read book Africans to Spanish America written by Sherwin K. Bryant and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2012-02-15 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Africans to Spanish America expands the Diaspora framework that has shaped much of the recent scholarship on Africans in the Americas to include Mexico, Peru, Ecuador, and Cuba, exploring the connections and disjunctures between colonial Latin America and the African Diaspora in the Spanish empires. While a majority of the research on the colonial Diaspora focuses on the Caribbean and Brazil, analysis of the regions of Mexico and the Andes opens up new questions of community formation that incorporated Spanish legal strategies in secular and ecclesiastical institutions as well as articulations of multiple African identities. Editors Sherwin K. Bryant, Rachel Sarah O'Toole, and Ben Vinson III arrange the volume around three themes: identity construction in the Americas; the struggle by enslaved and free people to present themselves as civilized, Christian, and resistant to slavery; and issues of cultural exclusion and inclusion. Across these broad themes, contributors offer probing and detailed studies of the place and roles of people of African descent in the complex realities of colonial Spanish America. Contributors are Joan C. Bristol, Nancy E. van Deusen, Leo J. Garofalo, Herbert S. Klein, Charles Beatty-Medina, Karen Y. Morrison, Rachel Sarah O'Toole, Frank "Trey" Proctor III, and Michele Reid-Vazquez.
Download or read book Black Ranching Frontiers written by Andrew Sluyter and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2012-10-30 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DIVIn this groundbreaking book Andrew Sluyter demonstrates for the first time that Africans played significant creative roles in establishing open-range cattle ranching in the Americas. In so doing, he provides a new way of looking at and studying the history of land, labor, property, and commerce in the Atlantic world./div DIVSluyter shows that Africans’ ideas and creativity helped to establish a production system so fundamental to the environmental and social relations of the American colonies that the consequences persist to the present. He examines various methods of cattle production, compares these methods to those used in Europe and the Americas, and traces the networks of actors that linked that Atlantic world. The use of archival documents, material culture items, and ecological relationships between landscape elements make this book a methodologically and substantively original contribution to Atlantic, African-American, and agricultural history./div

Download or read book Atlantic Creoles in the Age of Revolutions written by Jane G. Landers and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2011-09-30 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sailing the tide of a tumultuous era of Atlantic revolutions, a remarkable group of African-born and African-descended individuals transformed themselves from slaves into active agents of their lives and times. Big Prince Whitten, the black Seminole Abraham, and General Georges Biassou were “Atlantic creoles,” Africans who found their way to freedom by actively engaging in the most important political events of their day. These men and women of diverse ethnic backgrounds, who were fluent in multiple languages and familiar with African, American, and European cultures, migrated across the new world’s imperial boundaries in search of freedom and a safe haven. Yet, until now, their extraordinary lives and exploits have been hidden from posterity. Through prodigious archival research, Jane Landers radically alters our vision of the breadth and extent of the Age of Revolution, and our understanding of its actors. Whereas Africans in the Atlantic world are traditionally seen as destined for the slave market and plantation labor, Landers reconstructs the lives of unique individuals who managed to move purposefully through French, Spanish, and English colonies, and through Indian territory, in the unstable century between 1750 and 1850. Mobile and adaptive, they shifted allegiances and identities depending on which political leader or program offered the greatest possibility for freedom. Whether fighting for the King of Kongo, England, France, or Spain, or for the Muskogee and Seminole chiefs, their thirst for freedom helped to shape the course of the Atlantic revolutions and to enrich the history of revolutionary lives in all times.

Download or read book Black in Print written by Jennifer Carolina Gómez Menjívar and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2023-05-01 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Black in Print examines the role of narrative, from traditional writing to new media, in conversations about race and belonging in the isthmus. It argues that the production, circulation, and consumption of stories has led to a trans-isthmian imaginary that splits the region along racial and geographic lines into a white-mestizo Pacific coast, an Indigenous core, and a Black Caribbean. Across five chapters, Jennifer Carolina Gómez Menjívar identifies a series of key moments in the history of the development of this imaginary: Independence, Intervention, Cold-War, Post-Revolutionary, and Digital Age. Gómez Menjívar's analysis ranges from literary beacons such as Rubén Darío and Miguel Ángel Asturias to less studied intellectuals such as Wingston González and Carl Rigby. The result is a fresh approach to race, the region, and its literature. Black in Print understands Central American Blackness as a set of shifting coordinates plotted on the axes of language, geography, and time as it moves through print media.
Download or read book Fugitive Saints written by Katie Walker Grimes and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 2017-04-01 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How should the Catholic church remember the sins of its saints? This question proves particularly urgent in the case of those saints who were canonized due to their relation to black slavery. Today, many of their racial virtues seem like racial vices. In this way, the church celebrates Peter Claver, a seventeenth-century Spanish missionary to Colombia, as “the saint of the slave trade,” and extols Martín de Porres as the patron saint of mixed race people. But in truth, their sainthoods have upheld anti-blackness much more than they have undermined it. Habituated by anti-blackness, the church has struggled to perceive racial holiness accurately. In the ongoing cause to canonize Pierre Toussaint, a Haitian-born former slave, the church continues to enact these bad racial habits. This book proposes black fugitivity, as both a historical practice and an interpretive principle, to be a strategy by which the church can build new hagiographical habits. Rather than searching inside itself for racial heroes, the church should learn to celebrate those black fugitives who sought refuge outside of it.
