Resumen
RESTREPO, Eduardo. Abolitionist acts of New Granada, 1814-1851. CS [online]. 2012, n.9, pp.235-272. ISSN 2011-0324. https://doi.org/10.18046/recs.i9.1221.
The paper focuses on the analysis of the narrative of various abolitionist acts and the impact they had on the problematization of slavery. The author argues that, from the very beginning, the analysis of abolitionist acts manifests a contradiction with the independence discourse with regards to the idea of maintaining a part of the population as slaves. Yet, in practice, the acts aimed less at the brining into being of citizens and more in providing guarantees to slave-owners of compensation as well as preventing, by means of individualized surveillance and other instruments of control like concertaje, that the liberated participate in the distribution of the wealth and prestige and they are kept on the margins of society.
