From Shipmates to Soldiers: Emerging Black Identities in the Río de la Plata by Alex Borucki (review)

Alex Borucki offers a stunningly textured and comprehensive account of the lives and shifting social identities of African slaves and their descendants in the late colonial and early national Río de la Plata. The book focuses primarily on areas of what is presentday Uruguay, especially the city of Montevideo, but demonstrates that the histories of slavery and freedom, and of black mobility and mobilization, were inseparable from those of neighboring Buenos Aires and, in turn, from the broader Atlantic itineraries linking those cities to Brazil and to Africa.
