Hello Alva Moore Stevenson,

I was reading a book review this morning of one of your bibliography sources for this article, (1. Bennett, Herman Lee. Africans in Colonial Mexico: Absolutism, Christianity Afro-Creole Consciousness, 1570-1640. Indiana University Press, 2003) and thought perhaps I would add the link of that review to your post. I hope you and the other readers find it useful.
