Description:

"Prior tO 1640, When the Regular Slave Trade to New Spain ended, colonial Mexico was the second largest importer of slaves in the Americas. Even so, slavery never supplanted indigenous labor in the colony, and by the second half of the seventeenth century there were more free Afromexicans than slaves in Mexico. While it seems logical to assume that these unique demographic conditions created a situation ripe for slaves to challenge their oppression, Proctor's study reexamines that assumption"--Page [four] of cover.
