Download or read book Freedom s Captives written by Yesenia Barragan and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2021-07-01 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Freedom's Captives is a compelling exploration of the gradual abolition of slavery in the majority-black Pacific coast of Colombia, the largest area in the Americas inhabited primarily by people of African descent. From the autonomous rainforests and gold mines of the Colombian Black Pacific, Yesenia Barragan rethinks the nineteenth-century project of emancipation by arguing that the liberal freedom generated through gradual emancipation constituted a modern mode of racial governance that birthed new forms of social domination, while temporarily instituting de facto slavery. Although gradual emancipation was ostensibly designed to destroy slavery, she argues that slaveholders in Colombia came to have an even greater stake in it. Using narrative and storytelling to map the worlds of Free Womb children, enslaved women miners, free black boatmen, and white abolitionists in the Andean highlands, Freedom's Captives insightfully reveals how the Atlantic World processes of gradual emancipation and post-slavery rule unfolded in Colombia.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Esta novela trata sobre la lucha desde los tiempos de la conquista por la democracia, la libertad y la paz que han experimentado los pueblos latinoamericanos. A través de los tiempos, la mayoría de estos pueblos han experimentado la explotación y represión a manos de fuerzas opresoras extranjeras y nacionales. Esto ha llevado algunos de estos pueblos a recurrir a la revolución armada como última alternativa para alcanzar la democracia, la libertad y la paz. Desafortunadamente, estos pueblos han descubierto que la violencia no es el camino apropiado para encontrar la liberación. Un día muy confundido y preocupado de ver el camino que había tomado la revolución, Juanito decidió ir a la biblioteca y retiró varios libros para conocer más la ideología que El Estado, los ideólogos y los líderes del partido en el poder imponían sobre la población. Entre más leía sobre aquella doctrina, menos entendía cómo era posible que una ideología cuya filosofía hablaba y promulgaba la liberación del ser humano, a la hora de la práctica convirtiera en esclavos y dogmáticos a toda la población. La doctrina y los adoctrinadores caminaban caminos diametralmente opuestos. La doctrina decía una cosa y los que trataban de ponerla en práctica hacían otra. Los demagogos hablaban de libertad y ellos mismos eran esclavos de su propia doctrina enajenante y seguían obligando al pueblo a ser esclavo. -Es una desgracia tener que pasarse la vida en silencio sin poder decir lo que uno piensa porque si lo hacemos nos meten a la cárcel, nos torturan, nos mandan al exilio o simplemente nos acribillan frente a un paredón-pensaba Juanito. -Yo no puedo vivir así-decía-. ¿De qué valió que miles de compañeros perdieran sus vidas en feroces combates contra el enemigo? . . . ¿De qué valieron todos aquellos años metidos en la montaña con la espalda mojada, cansados, ahuevados, durmiendo en el suelo, enfermos, con el lodo hasta la rodilla, aguantando frío y hambres? . . . “Yo no puedo vivir bajo un sistema que me obliga a aceptar dogmas y una doctrina sacada de los fantásticos sueños de un viejo tejedor de sueños. Yo no tengo por qué aceptar doctrinas enajenantes, filosofías huecas o mitos . . . Yo no puedo vivir con una mordaza en la boca, una venda en los ojos, grilletes en las manos y una cadena de hierro en mi mente. Yo ya me cansé de toda esta carajada. Voy a salir y gritar a los cuatro vientos todo lo que siento. También le voy a decir a mis familiares y amigos que hagan lo mismo . . . , que no se queden con nada por dentro. Aunque me metan en una celda fría y acaben conmigo a palos, yo voy a decir lo que pienso-acabó diciendo Juanito-. BR> Esa misma tarde, Juanito tomó una hoja de papel y le escribió una carta a Juventino, el hijo mayor de su hermana Rosaura, quien para entonces ya estudiaba en la secundaria del Liceo José Martí. En aquella carta, Juanito le aconsejaba a su sobrino: Nunca dejes que otros manipulen tu vida ni tu mente. Mantén los ojos abiertos y nunca dejes que otros te impongan sus ideologías, doctrinas, dogmas, o mitos de los cuales tú no eres simpatizante ni entiendes. Prepárate y siempre defiende tu punto de vista. No seas como aquellos que no son ni chicha ni limonada. No seas como esas barcas o el cometa que se deja llevar por el viento. Si no estás de acuerdo con lo que hacen tus gobernantes, pues dilo y ya. Habla . . . , no te quedes callado porque lo que uno guarda en el pecho poco a poco te sofoca hasta dejarte inerte en el lecho. Dicho y hecho. Libera tu mente y tu ser . . . , ten fe en lo que haces, camina con determinación, se lo que tú quieras ser sin importarte el que dirán, respeta los derechos de los demás, mantén la mirada puesta en el futuro y muchas cosas buenas vendrán con el estudio y el trabajo.” Dos días después como a eso de las cuatro de la tarde, Juanito fue al parque situado frente a la catedral en la ciudad capital, se subió sobre una banca de c

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alejandro de la Fuente and George Reid Andrews offer the first systematic, book-length survey of humanities and social science scholarship on the exciting field of Afro-Latin American studies. Organized by topic, these essays synthesize and present the current state of knowledge on a broad variety of topics, including Afro-Latin American music, religions, literature, art history, political thought, social movements, legal history, environmental history, and ideologies of racial inclusion. This volume connects the region's long history of slavery to the major political, social, cultural, and economic developments of the last two centuries. Written by leading scholars in each of those topics, the volume provides an introduction to the field of Afro-Latin American studies that is not available from any other source and reflects the disciplinary and thematic richness of this emerging field.

Download or read book Free Soil in the Atlantic World written by Sue Peabody and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-14 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Free Soil in the Atlantic World examines the principle that slaves who crossed particular territorial frontiers- from European medieval cities to the Atlantic nation states of the nineteenth century- achieved their freedom. Based upon legislation and judicial cases, each essay considers the legal origins of Free Soil and the context in which it was invoked: medieval England, Toulouse and medieval France, early modern France and the Mediterranean, the Netherlands, eighteenth-century Portugal, nineteenth-century Angola, nineteenth-century Spain and Cuba, and the Brazilian-Paraguay borderlands. On the one hand, Free Soil policies were deployed by weaker polities to attract worker-settlers; however, by the eighteenth century, Free Soil was increasingly invoked by European imperial centres to distinguish colonial regimes based in slavery from the privileges and liberties associated with the metropole. This book was originally published as a special issue of Slavery and Abolition.

Download or read book Haitian Revolution written by Captivating History and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-07-12 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explore How the Slaves Freed Themselves in the Haitian Revolution The Haitian Revolution was a slave rebellion that began in 1791 in the French colony of Saint-Domingue, now known as Haiti. On this small island, the tyrants were the slave owners, people who not only denied their slaves freedom, but felt justified in killing them. The Haitian Revolution began to change the way slaves were viewed all over the world. Although it took nearly another 100 years to eradicate slavery in the west, the parallels between what the Americans and French had done to the slaves was impossible to ignore. The Haitian Revolution was the first and only time that a slave rebellion resulted in a new state. Some of the topics covered in this book include: The Wealth from Saint-Domingue Beginning of the End of the French Colony Planning of One of the Most Historic Revolutions in History The Revolution Begins The Revolution Spreads Ripples of Events in Europe The Abolishment of Slavery and the British Response Toussaint Louverture's Rise to Power The Defeat of Britain and a Newfound Respect Napoleon's Rise and Its Initial Effect on Saint-Domingue The End of the Revolution Lasting Effects - Beyond the Island Haiti Today And much more!
