Beatriz Carolina Pe\u00f1a<\/strong> is a specialist in colonial Latin American studies. Her initial focus was the colonial Andes, specifically the Viceroyalty of Peru, during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. While she remains active in research in this area, primarily by studying colonial public festivities, the interdisciplinary breadth of her work has taken her to the Spanish Caribbean and British America in the eighteenth century. She conducts archival and historical newspaper research on the\u00a0Spanish Negroes. The latter was the name that black, biracial, and native sailors from the Spanish colonies received in New York. English privateers captured them in the Caribbean, onboard Spanish privateers, warships, and other vessels, brought them to the city, and sold them into slavery. Pe\u00f1a’s goal is that these forgotten men, primarily lost in the multitude of enslaved Africans, are relocated in the history of people of African ancestry in colonial America and Latin America.<\/p>\n
