On enslavement in Veracruz, we suggest that the reader consult Patrick J. Carroll's Blacks in Colonial Veracruz, his article "Mandinga ....," and other texts, such as those by Adriana Naveda Chávez-Hita, Gonzalo Aguirre Beltrán ("Slave Trade in Mexico"), Gerald Cardoso, and others in the bibliography that ends this special section. Alvaro Mutes published a book that he titled Manifest Against the Spirit.
