Description: Asian Slaves in Colonial Mexico : From Chinos to Indians, Hardcover by Seijas, Tatiana, ISBN 1107063124, ISBN-13 9781107063129, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US "During the late sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, countless slaves from culturally diverse communities in the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia journeyed to Mexico on the ships of the Manila Galleon. Upon arrival in Mexico, they were grouped together and categorized as chinos.
