Resumen
Desde los inicios de la esclavitud transatlƔntica en las AmƩricas, las personas esclavizadas lucharon por recuperar su libertad
empleando una variedad de estrategias de liberaciĆ³n como la fuga, la coartaciĆ³n, la compra, los juicios legales y las rebeliones,
entre otras. Este artĆculo examina dicha temĆ”tica a partir de las narraciones de Mary Prince (Indias Occidentales britĆ”nicas)
y Juan Francisco Manzano (Cuba), que, al dar cuenta de su trayectoria de vida, permiten observar el proceso por el cual los autores contemplan diferentes estrategias y opciones para liberarse, y cĆ³mo ajustan ese plan en la medida en que enfrentan
obstĆ”culos y contratiempos. Al mismo tiempo, permiten examinar los factores que inciden en sus decisiones y su relaciĆ³n con el
contexto histĆ³rico, geogrĆ”fico, legal y demogrĆ”fico de cada autor.
Since the beginning of transatlantic slavery, enslaved persons fought for their freedom by deploying a variety of strategies, such as running away, gradual and immediate self-purchase, freedom suits and rebellions. This article studies the strategies described in the autobiographical narratives of Mary Prince (British West Indies) and Juan Francisco Manzano (Cuba). Because the narratives encompass their life stories, they allow us to observe the process by which the authors contemplate different strategies to free themselves, as well as how they adjust their plans when faced with obstacles and setbacks. At the same time, the article examines the factors that shape Prince and Manzanoās decision making processes and how they are related to the historical, geographic, legal, and demographic contexts of each author.
