{"product_id":"from-colonial-cuba-to-madrid-mara-elena-daz-9781009494199","title":"From Colonial Cuba to Madrid","description":"From Colonial Cuba to Madrid examines the largest and most complex freedom suit litigated in the highest court of the Spanish empire at the end of the eighteenth century. Filed by hundreds of re-enslaved Afro descendant people who had lived in quasi-freedom in eastern Cuba for more than a century, this action drew on local customary practices and broader cultural, political, and legal discourses rooted in the Spanish Atlantic world to put forward novel claims to collective freedom and native based rights at a time when questions of slavery, freedom, and citizenship were igniting in many parts of the Atlantic world. Intersecting law, society studies, and the history of slavery, Mar?a Elena D?az offers a carefully researched study of one of the few communities of Afro descendants that managed to secure freedom and political and legal recognition from the Spanish crown during the colonial period.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mar?a Elena D?az\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1009494198\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781009494199\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/21\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 360\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.54lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.94d","brand":"Mar?a Elena D?az","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46571372249343,"sku":"9781009494199","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_97090e0a-0c7b-4228-9746-e0f47e2a7e0f.jpg?v=1738808041","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/from-colonial-cuba-to-madrid-mara-elena-daz-9781009494199","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
