Danielle Terrazas Williams: Who Dared to Question the Word of a Priest? Free Black Women and Social Capital in 17th Century Mexico

Dr. Danielle Terrazas Williams is an Assistant Professor of History at Oberlin College. Her work focuses on African-descended women in colonial Mexico and she is completing a book project titled Capital of Free Women: Race, Legitimacy, and Liberty in Colonial Mexico, which challenges traditional narratives of racial hierarchies and gendered mobility by focusing on Mexico’s understudied period from 1580-1730.
