AB: This study endeavors to view Mexican society from 1750 to 1821
through the perspective of one of its lower status racial
groups—blacks. It addresses such themes as race, slavery and
the free population. An effort is also made at understanding the effect
of the interaction of the social, demographic economic, and political
forces upon the various sectors within the society. Each of these
questions is viewed at different points in time in an effort to gauge
change. The black's experience within the Mexican community is examined
at the local level. The local setting corresponds to the city of
Querétaro in the modern state of Querétaro. And
finally the conclusion tries to place the Mexican slave's
experience in the context of slaves in other industries than the
textile. Finally, it analyzes the dissolution of slavery and the
transition to freedom in an urban environment.

TI: Corporate salvation in a colonial society: Confraternities and
social mobility for Africans and their descendants in New Spain

AB: This dissertation explores the changes in social, family, economic
and religious life experienced by Africans and their descendants living
in New Spain from the sixteenth to the late eighteenth century. At
first most Africans and their children suffered under the harsh
conditions of slavery, which prevented them from achieving social and
economic success in the Hispanic world. Often baptized as
“without known fathers” or as orphans in the
seventeenth century, Mexican-born individuals with African parents
(labeled <italic>negros, morenos, pardos</italic> or
<italic>mulatos</italic> in colonial documentation) created
fictive families for themselves by joining confraternities, or lay
religious brotherhoods. The confraternities provided social
connections, charity and status for their members within towns
throughout New Spain. Confraternities led by men and women of African
descent flourished in the 1600s in Veracruz, Mexico City, Zacatecas,
San Luis Potosí, Taxco, San Miguel Allende, and
Querétaro. Often penitent (practicing public processional
flagellation in honor of the Passion of Christ) and dedicated to
popular Spanish and African advocations, Afromexican confraternities
enjoyed success and prestige in the Baroque religious milieu of
seventeenth-century New Spain.
Male confraternity leaders, even if they were enslaved or given
colonial racial labels, achieved limited prosperity from the
mid-seventeenth century in towns such as Morelia and Mexico City.
Gradually, individuals with African ancestry were less likely to be
enslaved and were generally labeled <italic> mulato</italic>,
indicating strong social, cultural, and familial connections to the
Hispanic world. Children labeled <italic>mulato</italic> in
eighteenth-century baptismal records were twice as likely to have both
parents present at their baptism than their ancestors in the
seventeenth century, and their parents' unions were officially
recognized as “legitimate” by the colonial
authorities. Eighteenth-century <italic>mulatos</italic>
were likely to be born free (without an enslaved mother) and often
inherited their fathers' trades, helping them to attain social
respectability and economic stability in their professional and
personal lives. Confraternities played a strong role in this long term
upward mobility, by providing an acceptable way for their members to
take part in public rituals and celebrations of local life in New
Spain. However, racial hierarchies varied by town and region. This
dissertation uses case studies from Mexico City, Parral and Morelia to
show the varying success experienced by individuals living in a
racially-divided colonial society. Despite legal distinctions and
divisions, by the end of the colonial era, individuals descended from
African slaves in New Spain achieved a limited degree of status in
Hispanic society. Confraternities were a crucial institution
facilitating this process.

TI: LA CREACION DE LA IDENTIDAD AUTOBIOGRAFICA HISPANOAMERICANA:

AB: Nobody knows what autobiography is, although everybody seems to
have a general idea about some of the elements that constitute the
gender. In general, autobiography is seen as the (fictitious) creation
and the selective construction of an individual's life experiences,
which have as a purpose to develop an integrated image of his/her self.
The present study considers autobiography as a gender that is
characterized by artistic invention, in which the author, character of
his/her own fiction, manipulates all the strategies and techniques
proper of his previous literary works to produce an intimate discourse
through the imaginative elaboration of the historical facts and the
personal experiences that have affected and led him/her to his/her
present situation.
This study focuses on Spanish American autobiographies written between
1980 and 1994 of five very different authors: Margo Glantz's Las
genealogias (1981), Manuel Zapata Olivella's !Levantate mulato!
Por mi raza hablara mi espiritu (1990), Heberto Padilla's La mala
memoria (1989), Reinaldo Arenas' Antes que anochezca (1992), and Isabel
Allende's Paula (1994). Each of them represents innovative texts in the
way in which each author has experimented with new forms, and adjust
them in the creation of his/her identity as an art form.
The
metaphor of life as a journey has facilitated the analysis of these
works given the demand that this metaphor imposes on the agent of the
narration. The autobiographical subject of each of these
autobiographies is analogous to the nomadic subject proposed by Rosi
Braidotti. This subject is a dynamic entity that resists homologation
of his individuality with his/her social context. This common
characteristic situates these writers in a marginal position, a sort of
exiles, with respect to their social, cultural, and historical
contexts: Glantz for her religion and ethnic background; Zapata
Olivella for his race; Padilla for his political situation; Arenas for
his homosexual condition; and Allende for her sex and political tides.
The autobiographies of these writers demonstrate that the narrative of
the self is the exploration of man as an art form, and of the society
that produces it.

AFROHISPANOAMERICANO)

AB: El mestizaje es un tema sumamente polemico. Antropologos,
sociologos, historiadores, han abordado la mezcla de razas con la
esperanza de esclarecer y explicar el impacto que ella ha tenido en lo
que Mart(')i llamara "nuestra America mestiza". En el ambito literario
el mestizaje sigue siendo un tema al que casi todo escritor
latinoamericano, de una forma u otra, ha pagado tributo.
El eje de esta monograf(')ia es el mestizaje afrohispano. Su expresion
literaria--el mulatismo--hallo una caudalosa vertiente en el siglo XX,
durante las decadas de los treinta y los cuarenta. A traves de la
caracterizacion de los personajes mulatos en tres novelas claves,
emprendemos un estudio parcial de la expresion literaria de la mulatez
en Hispanoamerica. Las obras estudiadas ilustran algunos de los
estereotipos raciales y culturales en torno al mulato, y por
ende reflejan ciertas posturas ideologicas relativas a la
conceptualizacion de la mulatez en el ambito pol(')itico y literario.
Despues de haber considerado la posicion del mulato
en la conciencia latinoamericana, pasamos al analisis emp(')irico de
Matalache (1928), del peruano Enrique Lopez Albujar; Juyungo (1942),
novela ecuatoriana por Adalberto Ortiz; y Cumboto (1950), del escritor
venezolano Ramon D(')iaz Sanchez. Mediante algunos elementos de
cr(')itica socio-historica, y psico-social, se estudian varios motivos
en las obras.
Por ultimo se muestra que en la literatura mulatista
se da desplazamiento del enfasis en lo racial a lo cultural que se
proyecta literariamente en una nueva imagen del mulato a partir
de los anos treinta. Este desplazamiento fue en gran parte retorico y
correspondio, no a un cambio autentico en las actitudes raciales, sino
a la transmutacion del racismo cienticifista en un neo-racismo de
envoltura culturalista.

Note:
I have a historical event book from Jerez, and there
is an article where they were selling black and
mulatto slaves on the open market (early 1700s). In
fact, I believe one of my ancestors buying them.
Question: What happened to all these slaves? When I
went to Jerez, I didn't see a single black! I believe
they were assimilated in to the population.
Any comments?

Esperanza,
I'm curious where you read about the blacks
outnumbering the Spaniards in Zacatecas. I've got
really weird hair and have been traced with
certainty to a few coyotes and a black, all from
Durango, which is next to Zacatecas. I've never met
another Mexican with hair as strange as mine -
coarse, dark, wavy, and it won't hold a curl. I can
even forecast the weather with this hair. Once I
told everyone it was going to rain and it was sunny
out. Nobody believed me and then it rained that
night. Sometimes I think God gave me this hair so
I'd always have something to do.

Actually, for a while, blacks outnumbered Spaniards
in Zacatecas as well because they were being used in
the silver mines that dot the whole state. Did you
know that Michoacan had an enormous amount of
Africans there early on as well?
Both my husband (from Michoacan) and myself would
bet that we have African blood running through our
veins - primarily because of the very nappy hair
that both sides of the relatives have.
