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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn exploring Spain's role in the transatlantic slave trade and its effects on cultural forms of the period, Berruezo-Sánchez 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 \u003cem\u003ehabla de negros\u003c\/em\u003e and creating space for early modern black poets in the Spanish literary canon. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThese 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 \u003cem\u003evillancicos de negros\u003c\/em\u003e, 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.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiana Berruezo-Sánchez, \u003cem\u003eHonorary Research Fellow, Sub-Faculty of Spanish, University of Oxford\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiana Berruezo-Sánchez\u003c\/strong\u003e is a Ramón y Cajal Research Fellow at Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona and Honorary Research Fellow at the University of Oxford, where she held full-time positions for six years.
