In the seventeenth century, Veracruz was the busiest port in the
wealthiest colony in the Americas. People and goods from five
continents converged in the city, inserting it firmly into the
early modern world's largest global networks. Nevertheless,
Veracruz never attained the fame or status of other Atlantic ports.
Veracruz and the Caribbean in the Seventeenth Century is the first
English-language, book-length study of early modern Veracruz.
Weaving elements of environmental, social, and cultural history, it
examines both Veracruz's internal dynamics and its external
relationships. Chief among Veracruz's relationships were its close
ties within the Caribbean. Emphasizing relationships of small-scale
trade and migration between Veracruz and Caribbean cities like
Havana, Santo Domingo, and Cartagena, Veracruz and the Caribbean
shows how the city's residents - especially its large African and
Afro-descended communities - were able to form communities and
define identities separate from those available in the Mexican
mainland.
