Description

Unlike such a lot books on slavery within the Americas, this social history of Africans and their enslaved descendants in colonial Costa Rica recounts the adventure of specific people from West Africa to the New World. Tracing the experiences of Africans on two Danish slave ships that arrived in Costa Rica in 1710, the Christianus Quintus and Fredericus Quartus, the creator examines slavery in Costa Rica from 1600 to 1750. Lohse looks on the ethnic origins of the Africans and narrates their capture and transport to the coast, their embarkation and passage, and after all their acculturation to slavery and their lives as slaves in Costa Rica. Following the experiences of boys and girls, men and women, he shows how the conditions of slavery in a unique local setting made up our minds the restrictions that slaves faced and how they responded to their condition.
