Event Description
Utilizing local analysis to make global conclusions, Drama Under the Skin uses ritual as a lens to examine race and identity formation of both free and enslaved people of African descent and Indigenous groups in northern New Spain. Juana Moriel-Payne proposes that Baroque-Catholic ideology, as social culture, incited and promoted the participation of those peoples in religious rituals.
