Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Una de las satisfacciones más profundas que deja en el alma el estudio de la vida de Pedro Claver es la conclusión a que se llega. Se ha dicho que escribir la vida de un personaje es emprender el más apasionante de los itinerarios: es la ruta de un alma. Pedro Claver es una de las figuras más admirables del siglo XVII, como hombre, como sociólogo y como santo. Fue testigo vivo de la tragedia social del continente negro, el reino de la esclavitud; allá voló mil veces su celo de apóstol y allá quiso ir en los últimos años. Vio llegar a los hijos de África a las costas de América, encadenados; y su aspiración suprema fue hacerlos libres. Debió conocer su historia y su lenguaje, hablaba la lengua angola. Al contacto con esos miles y miles de desgraciados, que procedentes de 40 naciones la esclavitud arrojó a las playas de América, su carácter se volvió cada vez más melancólico. Asistió como forjador eficaz a la segunda etapa del Nuevo Mundo, a la edad de oro colonial, por representar ese período de 50 años del siglo XVII la continuación del imperio hispánico continental, en la línea de las riquezas, de los heroísmos y aún de la santidad. Fue uno de los gigantes del espíritu que dulcificó y canalizó la rudeza del conquistador. Claver, sin quererlo, representó en su profunda vida interior, la síntesis de tres mundos: físicos, morales y sicológicos. No llenan su biografía grandes conflictos e intervenciones políticas —él era el esclavo blanco de una raza negra oprimida y su personen) ante los dueños—, sin embargo, en esta canalización de cultura, en este esfuerzo por incorporar una raza esclava a una libre, injertándola en una tierra física y moralmente nueva, en una lengua y una fe nuevas también, consiste su mayor grandeza y el título por el cual le podemos llamar con plenitud de significado: el santo que libertó una raza. Pedro Claver será un santo interior que lleva a la acción la espiritualidad de san Alonso Rodríguez y será a la vez un místico que lleva la espiritualidad a la acción social del P. Sandoval. Con estas ideas se aclara toda su vida y se iluminan las posibles paradojas que encontramos en su heroísmo. Esta es la clave de su historia sencilla. Por otra parte, como matices menores, descubrimos que hay que modificar conceptos acerca de su carácter. No era tan rudo como quieren algunos hacerlo aparecer. En su vida social no era antisocial con las clases altas, pues una de sus amistades más profundas fue precisamente con una persona de esta clase. Hay que rectificar sus relaciones con los superiores también. No es el santo brusco y rectilíneo que vive en su callada y dolorosa mortificación. Sabe ser amigo, mantiene relaciones con lo más granado de la sociedad cartagenera, tiene el sentido moderno de la formación de jefes y aplica un método social religioso que le llevará al triunfo. El presente libro es realista. No es una biografía acaramelada. Tiene algo de esta literatura cruda, moderna, que llama a las cosas por su nombre y no se espanta ante las realidades más violentas. Preferimos los testigos directos a las consideraciones románticas. Pedro Claver fue un hombre de su tiempo que se entregó totalmente a la caridad, no importa las exigencias que trajera consigo. Ciertos heroísmos no deben producir repugnancia, sino al contrario, admiración profunda. Talvez por eso su mensaje es actual, hoy después de tres siglos. ¡Mensaje de Claver! Veremos cómo su acción tiene interferencias con tres continentes: Europa, África, América. Para escribir la vida de San Pedro Claver, talvez se necesita sentir profundamente dos mundos, el europeo y el americano. Escribir del joven catalán y su mundo, sin conocerlo, es casi imposible, es el defecto de muchas biografías escritas del lado americano. Escribir de San Pedro Claver en su medio de Cartagena con todo el ambiente americano, sin conocerlo, es imposible. Tal vez sea necesario haber vivido los dos mundos: ser hispanoamericano. Este libro no puede faltar en su biblioteca.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kristen Block examines the entangled histories of Spain and England in the Caribbean during the long seventeenth century, focusing on colonialism's two main goals: the search for profit and the call to Christian dominance. Using the stories of ordinary people, Block illustrates how engaging with the powerful rhetoric and rituals of Christianity was central to survival. Isobel Criolla was a runaway slave in Cartagena who successfully lobbied the Spanish governor not to return her to an abusive mistress. Nicolas Burundel was a French Calvinist who served as henchman to the Spanish governor of Jamaica before his arrest by the Inquisition for heresy. Henry Whistler was an English sailor sent to the Caribbean under Oliver Cromwell's plan for holy war against Catholic Spain. Yaff and Nell were slaves who served a Quaker plantation owner, Lewis Morris, in Barbados. Seen from their on-the-ground perspective, the development of modern capitalism, race, and Christianity emerges as a story of negotiation, contingency, humanity, and the quest for community. Ordinary Lives in the Early Caribbean works in both a comparative and an integrative Atlantic world frame, drawing on archival sources from Spain, England, Barbados, Colombia, and the United States. It pushes the boundaries of how historians read silences in the archive, asking difficult questions about how self-censorship, anxiety, and shame have shaped the historical record. The book also encourages readers to expand their concept of religious history beyond a focus on theology, ideals, and pious exemplars to examine the communal efforts of pirates, smugglers, slaves, and adventurers who together shaped the Caribbean's emerging moral economy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In seventeenth-century Spanish America, black linguistic interpreters and spiritual intermediaries played key roles in the production of writings about black men and women. Focusing on the African diaspora in Peru and the southern continental Caribbean, Larissa Brewer-García 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-García'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-García 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.

The task of compiling a bibliography of the African slave trade is a difficult one as the literature comprises books, pamphlets and periodical articles in a variety of languages from the sixteenth century to the present day. This title aspires to present a representative selection of the material available and serve as a guide to the main categories of printed material on the subject in western languages. Due to their pre-existing availability and overwhelming quantity, government publications have been kept to a minimum.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study of sexuality in seventeenth-century Latin America takes the reader beneath the surface of daily life in a colonial city. Cartagena was an important Spanish port and the site of an Inquisition high court, a slave market, a leper colony, a military base, and a prison colony—colonial institutions that imposed order by enforcing Catholicism, cultural and religious boundaries, and prevailing race and gender hierarchies. The city was also simmering with illegal activity, from contraband trade to prostitution to heretical religious practices. Nicole von Germeten’s research uncovers scandalous stories drawn from archival research in Inquisition cases, criminal records, wills, and other legal documents. The stories focus largely on sexual agency and honor: an insult directed at a married woman causes a deadly street battle; a young doña uses sex to manipulate a lustful, corrupt inquisitor. Scandals like these illustrate the central thesis of this book: women in colonial Cartagena de Indias took control of their own sex lives and used sex and rhetoric connected to sexuality to plead their cases when they had to negotiate with colonial bureaucrats.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work resituates the Spanish Caribbean as an extension of the Luso-African Atlantic world from the late sixteenth to the mid-seventeenth century, when the union of the Spanish and Portuguese crowns facilitated a surge in the transatlantic slave trade. After the catastrophic decline of Amerindian populations on the islands, two major African provenance zones, first Upper Guinea and then Angola, contributed forced migrant populations with distinct experiences to the Caribbean. They played a dynamic role in the social formation of early Spanish colonial society in the fortified port cities of Cartagena de Indias, Havana, Santo Domingo, and Panama City and their semirural hinterlands. David Wheat is the first scholar to establish this early phase of the "Africanization" of the Spanish Caribbean two centuries before the rise of large-scale sugar plantations. With African migrants and their descendants comprising demographic majorities in core areas of Spanish settlement, Luso-Africans, Afro-Iberians, Latinized Africans, and free people of color acted more as colonists or settlers than as plantation slaves. These ethnically mixed and economically diversified societies constituted a region of overlapping Iberian and African worlds, while they made possible Spain's colonization of the Caribbean.
