Book Synopsis
The 16th and 17th-century Iberian Atlantic was a turbulent world of adventurers, transatlantic slave trade, forced conversion to Catholicism, and underground societies. Africans and converted Jews were persecuted by the Inquisition. This book draws on protocols of the inquisition to create a panorama of the lives of free and enslaved people from Europe and Africa to Central and South America, including Conversos and freed Africans who were business partners and rivals, some involved in clandestine relations between dominated groups.”
