Bound Lives chronicles the lived expericne of race relations in northern coastal Prtu during the colonial era. Rachel Sarah O´Toole examines how Andeans and Africans negotiated and employed casta and, in doing so, constructed these racial categories.

Royal and vice regal authorities separaed "Indians" from "blacks" by defining each according to specific labor demands. Casta categories did the work of race, yet not all casta categories were uniformly applied since Andeans, Africans, and their descendatns were bound by their locations within colonialism and slavary.

The secular colonial legar system clearly favored indigenous populations. Andeans were afforded greater protections as native vassals, whereas Africans were often subject to the judgments of loca slaveholding authorities. Africans claimed new kindships to project themselves in disputes with their captors and countereed slaveholders´ claims on their time and labor by invoking customary practices.

Bound Lives highlights the tenuous interactions of colonial authorities, indigenous communities, and enslaves populations and shows how the interplay between colonial law and daily practice shaped the nature of colonialism and slavery.
