With a focus on nineteenth century Cuba, this volume examines
understudied forms of mobility and networks that emerged during
Second Slavery. After being forcibly taken across the Atlantic,
enslaved Africans were moved within Cuba, and sometimes sold to
owners in other Caribbean islands or the U.S. South. The chapters
included in this book, written by historians and literary critics,
pay special attention to debates between abolitionists and
proslavery ideologues, the ways in which people and ideas moved
from the countryside to the city, from one Caribbean Island to the
next, and from the United States or the coasts of West Africa to
the sugarcane fields. They examine how enslaved persons ran away or
were captured and coerced to relocate; how they mobilized
information and ideas to ameliorate their situation; and how they
were used to advance other people’s interests. Movement, these
chapters show, was regularly deployed to reinforce enslavement and
the suppression of rights, while at times helping people in their
struggle for freedom. This book will be a great resource for
academics, researchers, and advanced students of Latin American
Literature, Global Slavery and Postcolonial Studies. The chapters
were originally published in the journal Atlantic Studies: Global
Currents.
