| description | Despite the royal laws prohibiting Africans from residing in Indian towns and the laws encouraging endogamic marriages within the same indigenous group, Spanish households were sites of multiethnic coexistence, where ecclesiastic agreements to respect the will of the bride and groom, the interest of the masters in increasing their number of servants and attitudes towards Christian marriage combined to encourage Afro-Maya marriages. This article analyzes the ethnic composition of Yucatán families and the factors that influenced quantitative trends towards Afro-Maya marriages during the formative years of the city of Mérida. Uprooted Africans and women taken from their indigenous communities formed the basis for new interethnic networks in urban spaces, giving rise to a new, “mulatto” Afro-Maya urban community. |

This article analyzes the ethnic composition of Yucatán families and the factors that influenced quantitative trends towards Afro-Maya marriages during the formative years of the city of Mérida. Uprooted Africans and women taken from their indigenous communities formed the basis for new interethnic networks in urban spaces, giving rise to a new, “mulatto” Afro-Maya urban community. A pesar de las disposiciones reales para prohibir que los africanos residieran en pueblos de indios y las disposiciones en favor de matrimonios entre personas del mismo grupo indígena, las casas españolas fueron ámbitos de convivencia multiétnica, donde confluyeron los acuerdos eclesiásticos de no coartar la voluntad de los contrayentes, los intereses de los amos en favor de incrementar su servidumbre doméstica, así como sus actitudes hacia el casamiento cristiano para propiciar enlaces afro-mayas. El artículo analiza la composición étnica de las unidades domésticas y los factores que influyeron en las tendencias cuantitativas de las nupcias afro-mayas durante la fase formativa de Mérida. Los desarraigados de África y las mujeres extraídas de sus pueblos indígenas constituyeron nuevas redes interétnicas en el espacio urbano dando origen a una comunidad urbana de afromayas con su descendencia “mulata”.
