“Silences and History in Conversation: Free and Enslaved Blacks in Latin America and the Caribbean (sixteenth and seventeenth centuries)”

 

By “silences” is meant the voices of free and enslaved blacks who were not documented except by their colonizers. Also, by “silences,” we mean the silences in the historiography of slavery. Moreover, the word “history” is intended to differentiate between conventional historical documents usually produced by the colonizers and all the ways in which the “silence” of free and enslaved people can be revealed.
