Resumen
BONIL GOMEZ, Katherine. Enslaved Mobilities of the Magdalena Great River, New Kingdom of Granada, 18 th Century. Front. hist. [online]. 2022, vol.27, n.2, pp.11-39. Epub 01-Jul-2022. ISSN 2027-4688. https://doi.org/10.22380/20274688.1918.
This text explores enslaved mobilities in the Nuevo Reino de Granada during the eighteenth century. It focuses on the Magdalena River, it's ports, rural areas and the roads that converged in it. It analyzes the diverse but often ignored archival references to enslaved women and men moving along the fluvial landscape. The article shows how the enslaved population, both women and men, forged practices of mobility not only in the urban but also in the rural areas. The enslaved draw on the colonial political culture to signify and legitimize their mobility, which also allowed them to acquire certain degrees of autonomy and to play a key role in the configuration of social networks, in the circulation of information relevant to the community and the local politics, and ultimately, in the integration of this fluvial geography.
