Description: "An expanded version of an earlier work on urban slavery by two of the authors (see HLAS 54:2065), this volume places Puerto Rican forced labor in the vast historiography on New World labor systems, racial categories, rural and urban lifestyles, household patterns, and economic transformations. Identifies key issues in slave studies; explains their relevance to the Puerto Rican case; and describes the experience of San Juan's emancipated slaves based on the city's libro de contratos de libertos (freedmen and -women contracts register)"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
