During the late sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, countless
slaves from culturally diverse communities in the Indian
subcontinent and Southeast Asia journeyed to Mexico on the ships of
the Manila Galleon. Upon arrival in Mexico, they were grouped
together and categorized as chinos. Their experience illustrates
the interconnectedness of Spain s colonies and the reach of the
crown, which brought people together from Africa, the Americas,
Asia and Europe in a historically unprecedented way. In time,
chinos in Mexico came to be treated under the law as Indians,
becoming indigenous vassals of the Spanish crown after 1672. The
implications of this legal change were enormous: as Indians, rather
than chinos, they could no longer be held as slaves. Tatiana Seijas
tracks chinos complex journey from the slave market in Manila to
the streets of Mexico City, and from bondage to liberty. In doing
so, she challenges commonly held assumptions about the uniformity
of the slave experience in the Americas."
