The colonization of Spanish America resulted in the mixing of Natives, Europeans, and Africans and the subsequent creation of a "casta" system that discriminated against them. Members of mixed races could, however, free themselves from such burdensome restrictions through the purchase of a "gracias al sacar"--a royal exemption that provided the privileges of Whiteness. For more than a century, the whitening "gracias al sacar" has fascinated historians. Even while the documents remained elusive, scholars continually mentioned the potential to acquire Whiteness as a provocative marker of the historic differences between Anglo and Latin American treatments of race. "Purchasing Whiteness" explores the fascinating details of 40 cases of whitening petitions, tracking thousands of pages of ensuing conversations as petitioners, royal officials, and local elites disputed not only whether the state should grant full whiteness to deserving individuals, but whether selective prejudices against the "castas" should cease. "Purchasing Whiteness" contextualizes the history of the "gracias al sacar" within the broader framework of three centuries of mixed race efforts to end discrimination. It identifies those historic variables that structured the potential for mobility as Africans moved from slavery to freedom, mixed with Natives and Whites, and transformed later generations into vassals worthy of royal favor. By examining this history of "pardo" and "mulatto" mobility, the author provides striking insight into those uniquely characteristic and deeply embedded pathways through which the Hispanic world negotiated processes of inclusion and exclusion.
