When Europe introduced mechanisms to control New World territories,
resources and populations, women-whether African, indigenous, mixed
race, or European-responded and participated in multiple ways. By
adopting a comprehensive view of female agency, the essays in this
collection reveal the varied implications of women's experiences in
colonialism in North and South America. Although the Spanish
American context receives particular attention here, the volume
contrasts the context of both colonial Mexico and Peru to every
other major geographic region that became a focus of European
imperialism in the early modern period: the Caribbean, Brazil,
English America, and New France. The chapters provide a coherent
perspective on the comparative history of European colonialism in
the Americas through their united treatment of four central themes:
the gendered implications of life on colonial frontiers;
non-European women's relationships to Christian institutions; the
implications of race-mixing; and social networks established by
women of various ethnicities in the colonial context. This volume
adds a new dimension to current scholarship in Atlantic history
through its emphasis on culture, gender and race, and through its
explicit effort to link religion to the broader imperial framework
of economic extraction and political domination.
