Africans in Colonial Mexico
By: Bennett, Herman L.
Published by: Indiana University Press
Colonial Mexico was home to the largest population of free and slave Africans in the New World. Africans in Colonial Mexico explores how they learned to make their way in a culture of Spanish and Roman Catholic absolutism by using the legal institutions of church and state to create a semblance of cultural autonomy. From secular and ecclesiastical court records, Bennett reconstructs the lives of slave and free blacks, their regulation by the government and the Church, the impact of the Inquisition, their legal status in marriage, and their rights and obligations as Christian subjects.

By: Loftin, John D.
