Description: In this groundbreaking study Diana Berruezo -s nchez recovers key chapters in the history of Afro - Iberian diasporas by exploring the literary contributions and life experiences of black African communities and individuals in early modern Spain. From the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries international trade involving chattel slavery led to significant populations of enslaved free(d) and half - manumitted black African women men and children in the Iberian Peninsula. These demographic changes transformed Spain's urban and social landscapes. In exploring Spain's role in the transatlantic slave trade and its effects on cultural forms of the period Berruezo -s nchez examines a broad range of texts and unearths new documents relating to black African poets performers and black confraternities. Her discoveries evince the broad yet largely disregarded literary and artistic impact of the African diaspora in early modern Spain expanding the scope of linguistic practices beyond habla de negros and creating space for early modern black poets in the Spanish literary canon. These textual sources challenge established understandings of black Africans and black African history in early modern Spain. They show how black Africans exerted significant cultural agency by collectively contributing to and shaping the literary texts of the period including those of the popular genre villancicos de negros and by developing artistic traditions as musicians dancers and poets. As both creators and consumers of cultural forms black African men and women navigated a restrictive coercive slave society yet negotiated their own physical and cultural spaces.
