Sierra said he might peruse a Spanish chronicle from the period and find only a single reference to slaves.<\/p>\n<p>There is, however, an abundance of notarial records from the period, which document transactions involving just about everything \u2013 including enslaved people. Sierra has found them useful,\u00a0in conjunction with other historical resources,\u00a0for providing clues about the slave experience.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have been able to find transportation contracts where an incoming slave trader has approached a muleteer needing to transport 80 slaves from Veracruz into the highlands, a journey that will take two and half weeks,\u201d Sierra explained. \u201cIn the contract, the muleteer agrees to put two captives on each mule, stop at certain designated rest stops, and if all goes well, \u2018we\u2019ll see you in Mexico City.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The records have also helped him better understand the complex nature of the slave trade in colonial Mexico.\u00a0 \u201cIt\u2019s a network that connects to Mexico to Angola to Portugal to Seville. It\u2019s really kind of stunning when you understand how interconnected it is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Notarial records, highly valued by scholars 40 years ago, are less valued now. \u201cSome scholars are very critical of using notarial resources, saying, for example, it reifies the power of slaveholder,\u201d Sierra said. \u00a0\u201cHowever, the risk in limiting these resources is that we end up omitting information about certain groups of people entirely.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>History professor Pablo Sierra is working to document the forgotten history of the Africans who passed through the slave market in his hometown and contributed to the diverse culture of modern Mexico.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":286,"featured_media":163982,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[456],"tags":[21422,19242,25132,24842,34152,18572,16072],"class_list":["post-163962","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-society-culture","tag-department-of-history","tag-global-engagement","tag-humanities-center","tag-mexico","tag-pablo-miguel-sierra-silva","tag-research-finding","tag-school-of-arts-and-sciences"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Documenting a hometown&#039;s history of slavery<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/documenting-a-hometowns-history-of-slavery-163962\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Documenting a hometown&#039;s history of slavery\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"History professor Pablo Sierra is working to document the forgotten history of the Africans who passed through the slave market in his hometown and contributed to the diverse culture of modern Mexico.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/documenting-a-hometowns-history-of-slavery-163962\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"News Center\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2016-06-02T14:16:24+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2020-05-13T18:30:09+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/fea-pablo-sierra.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1000\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Bob Marcotte\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Bob Marcotte\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"5 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.rochester.edu\\\/newscenter\\\/documenting-a-hometowns-history-of-slavery-163962\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.rochester.edu\\\/newscenter\\\/documenting-a-hometowns-history-of-slavery-163962\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Bob Marcotte\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.rochester.edu\\\/newscenter\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/e0d8d271cd290d592461fa9cefca013b\"},\"headline\":\"Documenting a hometown&#8217;s history of slavery\",\"datePublished\":\"2016-06-02T14:16:24+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2020-05-13T18:30:09+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.rochester.edu\\\/newscenter\\\/documenting-a-hometowns-history-of-slavery-163962\\\/\"},\"wordCount\":923,\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.rochester.edu\\\/newscenter\\\/documenting-a-hometowns-history-of-slavery-163962\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.rochester.edu\\\/newscenter\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2016\\\/06\\\/fea-pablo-sierra.jpg\",\"keywords\":[\"Department of History\",\"global engagement\",\"Humanities Center\",\"Mexico\",\"Pablo Miguel Sierra Silva\",\"research finding\",\"School of Arts and Sciences\"],\"articleSection\":[\"Society &amp;
