Anotácia knihy

This book tells the story of peasants and miners in late seventeenth and eighteenth-century Cuba, officially enslaved to the king of Spain, whose local patroness was a miraculous image of the Virgin of Charity of El Cobre. Through reconstructing its history, this book reveals that in Cuba's eastern regions, slavery to the King became highly ambiguous, evolving into forms of freedom unprecedented in other colonial societies of the New World. Drawing on a range of cultural, social, political, and economic sources, the author studies the relations that developed between the Virgin, the King, and the royal slaves as the slaves imagined and negotiated social identity and freedom in this Caribbean frontier society. As they produced social memory and appropriated popular religious traditions centered on the Virgin of Charity, they reinvented their past and present as a new people within the structures and strictures of Spain's colonial world.
