Résumé en anglais

This book stems indirectly from a symposium on 'Subjetividades escravas' organised in Lisbon by the Instituto de Ciências sociais of the University of Lisbon and the Casa de Velázquez (Madrid) on 2-4 July 2018. The Iberian world played a key role in the global trade of enslaved people from the 15th century onwards. Scholars of Iberian forms of slavery face challenges accessing the subjectivity of the enslaved, given the scarcity of autobiographical sources. This book offers a compelling example of innovative methodologies that draw on alternative archives and documents, such as inquisitorial and trial records, to examine enslaved individuals' and collective subjectivities under Iberian political dominion. It explores themes such as race, gender, labour, social mobility and emancipation, religion, and politics, shedding light on the lived experiences of those enslaved in the Iberian world from the Indian Ocean to the Atlantic< Réduire
