This study endeavors to view Mexican society from 1750 to 1821 through the perspective of one of its lower status racial groups---blacks. It addresses such themes as race, slavery and the free population. An effort is also made at understanding the effect of the interaction of the social, demographic economic, and political forces upon the various sectors within the society. Each of these questions is viewed at different points in time in an effort to gauge change. The black's experience within the Mexican community is examined at the local level. The local setting corresponds to the city of Queretaro in the modern state of Queretaro. And finally the conclusion tries to place the Mexican slave's experience in the context of slaves in other industries than the textile. Finally, it analyzes the dissolution of slavery and the transition to freedom in an urban environment / acase@tulane.edu
