Mexican historiography concerning the presence of Africans and their descendents in Mexico has emphasized slaves and free-persons, but there has been little writing on analyzing the relationships between the owners of slaves and the slaves in everyday life. In the essay that follows, I discuss the relationship between the slave owners and the relationships that developed between slave owners and their slaves. My study will give emphasis to the formation of families, the interaction between the countryside and the city, conflicts and participation in the economy (fishing, mining and commercial ventures). Essentially, this is a family study, based on serial records from the local notary archives and other judicial sources. Although originally my analysis focuses on the relationships of the Busto family, I will only use this group as the analytical framework and as a unifying group of a wide region that includes the Altos de Jalisco, the Bajio of Guanajuato and Queretaro. |
