Synopsis
This book explores the often-overlooked history of people of African descent in colonial Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula from 1540 to 1810. It examines their roles within the Spanish Empire, their experiences with slavery, and the complex race relations that shaped their lives. The work sheds light on the significant contributions and struggles of Black individuals in a region typically associated with Indigenous and Spanish narratives.
