摘要
我们中的许多人长期以来一直在思考,如果在现代早期,有更多的女性被鼓励去追求哪怕是中等程度的读写能力,我们这个领域的历史将会是什么样子。在拉丁美洲,能够读写的人口比例在更广泛的人口中仍然很低,但黑人和土著妇女记录(和存档)她们的经历、挑战和对未来的希望的机会更少。几乎所有遗留下来的都是由王室和教会这两大殖民支柱制作的高度中介的资料。档案的悲剧之处在于,我们必须提供他们不完整的历史,这些历史往往来自婚姻记录、遗嘱、宗教裁判所档案或经公证的奴隶买卖中的碎片。我们所研究的这些惯例感觉被一份隐藏的时间和地点的文字记录所覆盖,我们尚未对女性完全解读,但可能对被种族边缘化的女性来说尤其如此。尽管面临着这样的挑战,我们中的许多人还是坚持了下来,因为我们在新的社区中继续成长,这些社区鼓励我们重新定义经典,并尝试探索女性生活的新方法。特别是,我们这些关注早期现代女性和种族的人,对奴隶制的研究功不可没。由Stephanie Camp, Kimberly Hanger, Jennifer Morgan, Deborah Gray White, Daina Ramey Barry, Darlene Clark Hine和Thavolia Glymph等杰出黑人女性学者撰写的基础专著和编辑卷建立了一个视角,通过这个视角,我们可以从黑人女性的角度来看待她们
Many of us have long pondered what the histories of our field would look like if more women had been encouraged to pursue even moderate literacy across the early modern world. In Latin America, the percentage of people who could read and write remained generally low for the broader population, but Black and Indigenous women had even fewer opportunities to have documented (and archived) their experiences, their challenges, and their hopes for the future. Nearly all that remains are highly mediated sources produced by the two colonial pillars of Crown and Church. It is the tragedy of the archive that we must offer their incomplete histories often from shards found in marriage records, last wills and testaments, Inquisition files, or notarized sales of slaves. The conventions we examine feel blanketed under a hidden transcript of a time and place that we have not yet fully deciphered for women but perhaps especially for women marginalized by race. Notwithstanding such challenges, many of us endure because we continue to grow through new communities that encourage us to redefine the canon and to experiment with new methodologies for exploring women’s lives. In particular, those of us who focus on early modern women and race owe a great debt to slavery studies. Foundational monographs and edited volumes by brilliant Black women scholars such as Stephanie Camp, Kimberly Hanger, Jennifer Morgan, Deborah Gray White, Daina Ramey Barry, Darlene Clark Hine, and Thavolia Glymph established a lens throughwhich to consider Black women on their own terms, to take
