Focusing on the African diaspora in Peru and the southern continental Caribbean, Larissa Brewer-Garcia uncovers long-ignored or lost archival materials describing the experiences of black Christians in the transatlantic slave trade and the colonial societies where they arrived. Brewer-Garcia's analysis of these materials shows that black intermediaries bridged divisions among the populations implicated in the slave trade, exerting influence over colonial Spanish American writings and emerging racial hierarchies in the Atlantic world. The translated portrayals of blackness composed by these intermediaries stood in stark contrast to the pejorative stereotypes common in literary and legal texts of the period. Brewer-Garcia reconstructs the context of those translations and traces the contours and consequences of their notions of blackness, which were characterized by physical beauty and spiritual virtue. 650 0 $a Blacks $x Missions $z South America. 610 20 $a Jesuits $x Missions $z South America. 600 10 $a Sacabuche, AndreÌs. 600 10 $a JesuÌs, Ursula de, $d 1604-1666. 650 0 $a Blacks $z South America $x Religion. 650 0 $a Blacks $z South America. 600 17 $a JesuÌs, Ursula de, $d 1604-1666. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00508852 650 7 $a Blacks. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00833880 650 7 $a Blacks $x Missions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00833968 650 7 $a Blacks $x Religion. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00833993 651 7 $a South America. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01244515 776 08 $i Online version: $a Brewer-GarciÌa, Larissa, 1983- $t Beyond Babel. $d Cambridge, UK : Cambridge University Press, [2020] $z 9781108632416 $w (DLC) 2019058878 830 0 $a Afro-Latin America. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231021014139.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0BBB2A1271B711EB8A4F4B2E3BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
