For an overall definition and discussion of the significance of the
black laws, see Manuel Lucena Salmoral, Los Códigos Negros de la
América Española (Alcalá, Spain: UNESCO, 1996), especially pp.
12-15. A detailed listing of the specific laws of the Netherlands
Antilles can be found in J.A. Schiltkamp and J.T. Smidt, eds., West
Indisch Plakaatboek: Publikaties en Andere Wetten Alsmede de Oudste
Resoluties Betrekking Hebbende Op Curaçao, Aruba, Bonaire, Vol. I,
1638-1782 (Amsterdam: S. Emmering, 1978). For an analysis of how
these laws, which continued well into the twentieth century,
influenced local cultural expression and were resisted by
Afro-Curaçaoans, see Rosalia, especially Chapters 3 and 6.
For a general discussion of the situation of slaves in nineteenth
century Curaçao, and especially their relationship with the Roman
Catholic Church, see Lampe.
Allowing slaves to work for wages was not uncommon in thc American
slave societies of the time; see among many others, Robert Olwell,
Masters, Slaves and Subjects: South Carolina Low Country 1740-1790
(Ithaca & London: Cornell University Press, 1998), Chapter 4, and
James Sidbury, Ploughshares into Swords: Race, Rebellion and
Identity in Gabriel's Virginia 1730-1810 (Cambridge: Cambridge
University Press, 1997), Chapter 6. Employed slaves on Curaçao,
however, seem to have enjoyed an exceptional degree of autonomy.
