GUERRERO MOSQUERA, Andrea. Missions, missionaries and baptisms across the Atlantic: evangelization in Cartagena de Indias and in the Kingdoms of Kongo and Ngola. Seventeenth century. Mem. Soc. [online]. 2014, vol.18, n.37, pp.14-32. ISSN 0122-5197. https://doi.org/10.11144/Javeriana.mys18-37.mmyb.
This article aims to show how the black slaves were catechized in Cartagena and in the Kingdoms of Kongo and Ngola. In this inquiry the writings of missionaries in Africa from the first half of the seventeenth century were used, in order to go into the way the region was evangelized. These texts were written from a perspective based on observation and under the protection of a catholic euro-centrist speech, which became an important part of the black world literature. This information was compared with the procedures performed by the Jesuit priests Claver and Sandoval in Cartagena de Indias, in order to establish connections between the processes occurred on both sides of the Atlantic and the circulation of the catechetical process and the evangelization
