My book, The Capital of Free Women, highlights the history of Black women in 17th-century Mexico during the height of the slave trade. Often only one generation removed from slavery, free Black women owned businesses and land, served as influential matriarchs, and managed intergenerational wealth.

In 1866, a Black man named Dimas Chávez desperately tried to locate his enslaved mother, Lorenza. Dimas sought out the syndic (a legal representation charged with assisting in such matters), but slave owners often disregarded such authorities. Dimas still tried, even if his attempts were futile.

In 1710, an enslaved Black woman named Pascuala was investigated for blasphemy by the Mexican Inquisition. Two Black men, Juan de Dios and Miguel Ramirez, attempted to downplay the heresy and instead underscored the horrific violence Pascuala had experienced. They tried to protect her.

NPR notes that this photograph is of 2 enslaved men. It is from an exhibition by The Moreira Salles Institute. Another website claims they were free (screenshot). A student wants to analyze it but now has doubts. Opinions? My guess: enslaved men but can't verify... www.npr.org/sections/par...

Today, I taught from Joan Cameron Bristol's book, Afro-Mexican Ritual Practice in the 17th Century. The genre of the vita and the intended audience are key frameworks in understanding the supposed quotes from Juana Esperanza de San Alberto, an enslaved Black woman and nun in Mexico.
