Work

Fuentes is a historian of the seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Atlantic world; her work focuses more specifically on slavery, race, gender, and sexuality in the early modern Caribbean. Her book Dispossessed Lives: Enslaved Women, Violence, and the Archive (2016), which developed new historical methodologies for understanding and thinking about the difficult-to-access experiences of enslaved women in eighteenth-century Bridgetown, Barbados,[2] won the 2016 Berkshire Conference of Women Historians Book Prize,[3] the 2017 Caribbean Studies Association Barbara Christian Prize,[4] and the 2017 Association of Black Women Historians Letitia Woods Brown Memorial Book Award.[5]

Fuentes is also the co-editor of the volume Scarlet and Black: Slavery and Dispossession in Rutgers History (2016)[6][7] and the co-editor of a 2016 special issue of History of the Present on the ethical and historiographical challenges faced by scholars writing about slavery.[8]
