The Afro - Hispanic proverb Black but Human is the main thread of the six chapters and serves as a lens through which to explore the ways in which a certain visual representation of slavery both embodies and reproduces hegemonic visions of enslaved and liberated Africans and at the same time provides material for critical and emancipatory practices by Afro - Hispanics themselves. The African presence in the Iberian Peninsula between the late fifteenth century and the end of the seventeenth century was as a result of the institutionalization of the local and transatlantic slave trades. In addition to the Moors Berbers and Turks born as slaves there were approximately two million enslaved people in the kingdoms of Castile Arag n and Portugal. The Black but Human topos that emerges from the African work songs and poems written by Afro - Hispanics encodes the multi - layered processes through which a black emancipatory subject emerges and a 'black nation forges a collective resistance. It is visually articulated by Afro - Hispanic and Spanish artists in religious paintings and in the genres of self - portraiture and portraiture. This extraordinary imagery coexists with the stereotypical representations of African slaves and ex - slaves by Spanish sculptors engravers jewellers and painters mainly in the religious visual form and by European draftsmen and miniaturists in their landscape drawings and sketches for costume books.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: Black But Human Slavery And Visual Arts In Hapsburg Spain 1480 - 1700\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Fracchia Carmen (Professor Of Hispanic Art History Reader In Hispanic Art History Birkbeck University Of London)\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: Oxford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9780198767978\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 250 Pages, Numerous Black And White And Colour Images\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 12\/10\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Slavery \u0026amp; Abolition Of Slavery","brand":"Fracchia Carmen (Professor Of Hispanic Art History Reader In Hispanic Art History Birkbeck University Of London)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49592282054961,"sku":"IN-G-9780198767978","price":151.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9780198767978.jpg?v=1753222396","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9780198767978-black-but-human-slavery-and-visual-arts-in-hapsburg-spain-1480-1700","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
