Abstract

Anthropology, Gender and Slavery (Granada, 16th Century)
The aim of this article is to show the androcentrism of those studies on slavery that have presented slave populations as being composed basically of men and that ignore the important role played by female slaves. It analyzes, as a case study, the slave population of the city of Granada during the 16th century in relation to the Trans-Saharan and Trans-Atlantic slave trade from a gender perspective. This essay explores the proportion of men to women, the productive and reproductive relationships, the sexual division of work, and kinship relationships in the slave population of Granada.
