Taxing Blackness: Free Afromexican Tribute In Bourbon New Spain

During the eighteenth century, hundreds of thousands of free descendants of Africans in Mexico faced a highly specific obligation to the Spanish crown, a tax based on their genealogy and status. This book examines this tribute to explore the meanings of race, political loyalty, and legal privileges within the Spanish colonial regime.
