From the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries, Spanish and
Portuguese monarchs launched global campaigns for territory and
trade. This process spurred two efforts that reshaped the world:
missions to spread Christianity to the four corners of the globe,
and the horrors of the transatlantic slave trade. These efforts
joined in unexpected ways to give rise to black saints. Erin
Kathleen Rowe presents the untold story of how black saints - and
the slaves who venerated them - transformed the early modern
church. By exploring race, the Atlantic slave trade, and global
Christianity, she provides new ways of thinking about blackness,
holiness, and cultural authority. Rowe transforms our understanding
of global devotional patterns and their effects on early modern
societies by looking at previously unstudied sculptures and
paintings of black saints, examining the impact of black lay
communities, and analysing controversies unfolding in the church
about race, moral potential, enslavement, and salvation.
