Short description:
This book sheds new light on the transatlantic trade in enslaved Africans during the early modern period by exploring the asiento system, an exclusive concession granted by the Spanish Crown, which involved a vast network of transnational and transimperial connectors.
MoreLong description:
This is the first edited volume to focus explicitly on the asiento, the contractual framework that regulated the transatlantic slave trade to Spanish America between the late sixteenth and mid-eighteenth centuries. As the mechanism that structured a vast system of human trafficking ? one of the foundational tragedies of the modern world ? the asiento functioned as a legal, political, and commercial instrument of empire. Drawing on new archival research in multiple languages and from repositories across the Atlantic, the chapters trace the negotiated nature of these contracts, the transimperial flows they enabled, and the roles played by formal and informal agents of diverse social, ethnic, and institutional backgrounds.
