Chapter 6 returns to a spatial focus on slavery by highlighting the opportunities found in the marketplace. It also addresses the second-hand market or baratillo, as a space for afro-indigenous interaction. The chapter focuses on three families: the Terranovas, the Monsón de la Cruz and the Pardave Cabreras. In the first case María de Terranova, an African woman, became her former master's principal foe by selling fish in the marketplace and contesting his attempts to rescind her freedom papers. The second case examines the potential of afro-indigenous interactions through the testaments of Felipe Monsón y Mojica and his indigenous wife, Juana María de la Cruz. The couple managed to become urban patrons in Puebla through their control of chile peppers and other agricultural products. The third case centers on the Pardave Cabrera family and the strategic commercial and marital choices made by male members of the family. In the particular case of Marcos de Pardave, we learn of a thriving trade in indigenous clothing imported from Oaxaca and Chiapas. Both Pardave and Monsón also illustrate former slaves' ability to enter and profit from service in Puebla's free-colored militias.
