Negro Slave Myths of the Spanish Period is a book that explores the tales and legends of lost treasure during the 16th to 19th centuries in the Spanish colonies of the Americas. The author, Florence Jackson Stoddard, focuses specifically on the myths and stories that were passed down through generations of enslaved Africans and their descendants. Through extensive research and analysis of historical documents, Stoddard pieces together the various myths and legends that were created by enslaved Africans as a way to cope with their harsh living conditions and to dream of a better life. These stories often involved hidden treasures, magical powers, and heroic figures who could help the slaves escape their bondage. The book provides a fascinating look into the culture and beliefs of enslaved Africans during the Spanish colonial period, shedding light on the ways in which they used storytelling as a means of resistance and empowerment. It also offers a unique perspective on the history of the Americas, highlighting the contributions and experiences of a group of people who are often overlooked in traditional historical narratives. Overall, Negro Slave Myths of the Spanish Period is a well-researched and engaging book that provides valuable insights into the lives and beliefs of enslaved Africans during a critical period in the history of the Americas.THIS 40 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: As Old as the Moon Or Cuban Legends and Folklore of the Antillas, by Florence Jackson Stoddard.
