{"product_id":"women-of-the-iberian-atlantic","title":"Women of the Iberian Atlantic","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe ten essays in this interdisciplinary collection explore the lives  places  and stories of women in the Iberian Atlantic between 1500 and 1800. Distinguished contributors such as Ida Altman  Matt D. Childs  and Allyson M. Poska utilize the complexities of gender to understand issues of race  class  family  health  and religious practices in the Atlantic basin. Unlike previous scholarship  which has focused primarily on upper-class and noble women  this book examines the lives of those on the periphery  including free and enslaved Africans  colonized indigenous mothers  and poor Spanish women. Chapters range broadly across time periods and regions of the Atlantic world. The authors explore the lives of Caribbean women in the earliest era of Spanish colonization and gender norms in Spain and its far-flung colonies. They extend the boundaries of the traditional Atlantic by analyzing healing knowledge of indigenous women in Portuguese Goa and kinship bonds among women in Spanish East Texas. Together  these innovative essays rechart the Iberian Atlantic while revealing the widespread impact of womens activities on the emergence of the Iberian Atlantic world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44964059971637,"sku":"ByrdShop_0807147729","price":37.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780807147726.jpg?v=1770447201","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/women-of-the-iberian-atlantic","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
