This article discusses the marronage logics (Cimarronaje) and the constitution of Palenque villages, as an expression of black slaves’ resistance against the colonial neogranadian system. The analysis is temporarily focused on the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries, and spatially in the current Caribbean region of Colombia, specifically the areas known as Bolivar Sabanero and the Mompox Depression. Throughout the conjunction of these temporal and geographic variables, the author can track how black slaves ran away from their masters using marronage (cimarronaje) dynamics, as a pursuit for social an...

This article discusses the marronage logics (Cimarronaje) and the constitution of Palenque villages, as an expression of black slaves’ resistance against the colonial neogranadian system. The analysis is temporarily focused on the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries, and spatially in the current Caribbean region of Colombia, specifically the areas known as Bolivar Sabanero and the Mompox Depression. Throughout the conjunction of these temporal and geographic variables, the author can track how black slaves ran away from their masters using marronage (cimarronaje) dynamics, as a pursuit for social and territorial autonomy. This autonomy was materialized through the construction of Palenque villages in specific areas of the Colombian Caribbean, where they found what the colonial system did not provide to the enslaved population of the time. In this sense, this paper presents some theoretical positions corresponding to the study of Afro-descendants during the colonial times in the focused region. The analysis could contribute to strengthening the figure of Palenque village’s as territorial entities and a geographic space that allowed the Maroons to access levels of social autonomy through a particular use and appropriation of their native territory. ; Este artículo analiza las lógicas del cimarronaje y la constitución de los Palenques, como expresión de la resistencia de los esclavos negros contra el sistema colonial neogranadino. El análisis se centró temporalmente en los siglos XVI, XVII y XVIII, y espacialmente en la actual región del caribe Colombiano, específicamente las áreas conocidas como Bolívar Sabanero y la Depresión Momposina. A través de la conjunción de estas variables temporales y geográficas, el autor puede rastrear como los esclavos negros huían de sus amos usando dinámicas de cimarronaje, como una búsqueda de la autonomía social y territorial. Esta autonomía se materializa a través de la construcción de los Palenques en áreas específicas del Caribe colombiano, donde encontraron lo que el sistema ...
