Using ecclesiastical and inquisitorial records, Herman L. Bennett frames the history of Mexico around the private lives and liberty that Catholicism engendered among enslaved Africans and free blacks, who became majority populations soon after the Spanish conquest. The resulting history of 17th-century Mexico brings forth tantalizing personal and family dramas, body politics, and stories of lost virtue and sullen honor. By focusing on these phenomena among peoples of African descent, rather than the conventional history of Mexico with the narrative of slavery to freedom figured in, Colonial Blackness presents the colonial drama in all its untidy detail. 410 0$aBlacks in the diaspora. 606 $aBlacks$zMexico$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aBlacks$zMexico$xSocial conditions$y17th century 607 $aMexico$xRace relations$xHistory$y17th century 615 0$aBlacks$xHistory 615 0$aBlacks$xSocial conditions 676 $a972/.00496 700 $aBennett$b Herman L$g(Herman Lee),$f1964-$01658013 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910828091403321 996 $aColonial blackness$94011769 997 $aUNINA
