The essays in this book demonstrate the importance of transatlantic
and intra-American slave trafficking in the development of colonial
Spanish America, highlighting the Spanish colonies' previously
underestimated significance within the broader history of the slave
trade. Spanish America received African captives not only directly
via the transatlantic slave trade but also from slave markets in
the Portuguese, English, Dutch, French, and Danish Americas,
ultimately absorbing more enslaved Africans than any other imperial
jurisdiction in the Americas except Brazil. The contributors focus
on the histories of slave trafficking to, within, and across highly
diverse regions of Spanish America throughout the entire colonial
period, with themes ranging from the earliest known transatlantic
slaving voyages during the sixteenth century to the evolution of
antislavery efforts within the Spanish empire. Students and
scholars will find the comprehensive study and analysis in From the
Galleons to the Highlands invaluable in examining the study of the
slave trade to colonial Spanish America.
