Using the city of Puebla de los Angeles, the second-largest urban
center in colonial Mexico (viceroyalty of New Spain), Pablo Miguel
Sierra Silva investigates Spaniards' imposition of slavery on
Africans, Asians, and their families. He analyzes the experiences
of these slaves in four distinct urban settings: the marketplace,
the convent, the textile mill, and the elite residence. In so
doing, Urban Slavery in Colonial Mexico advances a new
understanding of how, when, and why transatlantic and transpacific
merchant networks converged in Central Mexico during the
seventeenth century. As a social and cultural history, it also
addresses how enslaved people formed social networks to contest
their bondage. Sierra Silva challenges readers to understand the
everyday nature of urban slavery and engages the rich Spanish and
indigenous history of the Puebla region while intertwining it with
African diaspora studies.
