Rivers of Gold, Lives of Bondage: Governing through Slavery in Colonial Quito
Sherwin K. Bryant
In this pioneering study of slavery in colonial Ecuador and southern Colombia, Sherwin Bryant argues that the most fundamental dimension of slavery was governance and the extension of imperial power. Bryant shows that enslaved black captives were foundational to sixteenth-century royal claims on the Americas and elemental to the process of Spanish colonization.
