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.
Today has a lot going for it: It's here, it's now, and it's already
yours. Today is the only day that comes with a guarantee. You've
been waiting for today, even though you might have been calling it
something else. You might have been calling it tomorrow or someday
or even the future. But now, it's the present, and the best thing
to do with any present is open it, delight in it, and appreciate it
for what it is. Begin something something small or something bold,
something that will grow bigger with time. It might just be the day
you've been waiting for. So start here, start, now. Start today.
