While some women still labored as slaves, a new demographic began to emerge: free Black women of means. Free women in central Veracruz, sometimes just one generation removed from slavery, purchased land, ran businesses, served as influential matriarchs, managed intergenerational wealth, and even owned slaves of African descent. Using the notarial archives of the region, as well as royal edicts and ecclesiastical sources, Danielle Terrazas Williams explores the lives of Black women across the economic spectrum, evaluates their elite sensibilities, and challenges notions of race and class in the colonial period. More broadly, she asks readers to consider how colonial institutions imagined marginalized people and how race and gender influenced how people navigated imperial demands and religious expectations. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Introduction -- A Nexus of Worlds -- Defending Family -- Owning Slaves -- One Generation -- Capitalizing Status -- Preserving Legacies -- Epilogue -- Notes -- Index. 648 7 $a 1540-1810 $2 fast 650 0 $a Women, Black $z Veracruz-Llave (State) $z Veracruz-Llave (State) $x Economic conditions $y 17th century. 650 0 $a Freed persons $z Veracruz-Llave (State) $z Veracruz-Llave (State) $x Economic conditions $y 17th century. 650 0 $a Women merchants $z Veracruz-Llave (State) $z Veracruz-Llave (State) $y 17th century. 650 0 $a Women, Black $z Veracruz-Llave (State) $z Veracruz-Llave (State) $x History $y 17th century. 650 0 $a Enslaved women $z Veracruz-Llave (State) $z Veracruz-Llave (State) $x History $y 17th century. 650 0 $a Slavery $z Veracruz-Llave (State) $z Veracruz-Llave (State) $x History $y 17th century. 650 7 $a Women slaves. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01178532 650 7 $a Slavery. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01120426 650 7 $a Freed persons $x Economic conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00933991 650 7 $a Race relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01086509 650 7 $a Women, Black. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01178916 650 7 $a Women, Black $x Economic conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01178921 650 7 $a Women merchants. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01178144 651 0 $a Mexico $x History $y Spanish colony, 1540-1810. 651 0 $a Veracruz-Llave (Mexico : State) $x History $x History $y 17th century. 651 7 $a Mexico. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01211700 651 7 $a Mexico $z Veracruz-Llave (State) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01330578 655 0 $a History. 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117023728.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=14DEBF20253111EE91433F782CECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
