The present article has the objective of studying the escape strategies of the enslaved population of African origin in Oaxaca from 1591 to 1769. The work addresses two axes. The first deals with collective resistance from rural spaces. For this, the records of communities called Maroon are analyzed, as well as their resistance and confrontation with the colonial authorities. The second focuses on cases of individual escapes of slaves who lived in the city of Antequera. The text concludes with the analysis of two judicial processes against two fugitive slaves. The purpose of studying these cases is to know the difficulties they faced in their flight and the alliances they established in their journey.

Palabras clave : African; Palenque; Marron; Oaxaca; Nueva España.
