Synergies: Reproduction and Colonialism in Latin America
February 7 | 4:00 pm
Zoom

Paola Uparela (Spanish and Portuguese Studies) – “Well-Being Policies for the (Re)production of the Indigenous Population: Las Casas’s Remedies (1516) in Guaman Poma’s Good Government (1615)”

Paola Uparela’s talk contributes to the historical research on Felipe Guaman Poma’s proposal to the sovereign in the 17th century to stop abuses, illicit impregnation, and miscegenation of the Indigenous population, by connecting this research to the prominent intellectual, Bartolome de Las Casas, writing in the 16th century, one hundred years earlier.

Fernanda Bretones Lanes (History) – “Shores of Asylum: Fugitivity, Empire, and Slavery in the Colonial Caribbean”

Fernanda Bretones examines the making and unmaking of Spain’s religious sanctuary, an imperial policy that existed in the Caribbean during the 17th and 18th centuries that conferred asylum—and potentially freedom—to fugitive slaves who sought religious protection in Spanish colonies.
