ROSAS GUEVARA, Martha Isabel. From Slaves to Citizens and Vagabonds. Representations of Blackness in the Colombian Legal Discourse during the 19th Century. Historelo.rev.hist.reg.local [online]. 2014, vol.6, n.12, pp.271-302. ISSN 2145-132X. https://doi.org/10.15446/historelo.v6n12.42119.
Through a historiographical narrative drawn from legal texts, this paper aims to interpret the absence and presence of black people in the nineteenth-century legal discourse produced once the independence of Spain was obtained in the early nineteenth century. Considering that the imagination of a State Republican represented a challenge for the local elites, -which despite of preaching rhetorically the consolidation of a national community based on the equality and the democracy-constructed an idea of Nation on the ideological colonial basements perpetuated in the elitist repulsion towards the mass or populace, which at last produced his exclusion of the promissory modernity.
