Cusco’s 1650 earthquake profoundly modified social structures and the city’s physical appearance. Between 1650 and 1720, rural Cuzco urbanized. Disaster and reconstruction makes visible Afro-Andean presence and participation because reconstruction generated more documentation. They appear as active social participants, not just as enslaved people, employing different strategies to insert themselves in a majority indigenous society. They appear frequently in a series of social conflicts, especially in interethnic relations. Beginning with an intensive interrogation of the documentary sources, this paper re-interprets these relations and explores changing gender dynamics in marriages among Afro-Andean and indigenous spouses in Cusco, 1650- 1720.
