“…Other uses of this type of source can be found in the analysis of manumission. See Diaz Diaz 1996; Harth-Terre 1973;Schwartz 1974;Johnson 1979;Aguirre 1992. What exactly does marking -to use Holt's term again -people in documents with this addendum, s.o.a., mean? What does that addendum mark: a low social status or, specifically, the status of former slave?…”

Focuses on how in Cuba race-marking was interrelated with surname-giving, also after the abolition of slavery. Through researching life histories on the local level in the Cienfuegos region, the author examines names of former slaves, finding that these were after abolition in notarial records often marked with the adjectives s.o.a., or "sin otro apellido" (without other surname, taking into account the Iberian double surname tradition). This, according to him, points to a stigmatization of these black citizens and related to their former status as possession, and is thus a racial marker, only more hidden than the open racial assignations during slavery. He relates these postemancipation surnames of former slaves to the dotation of surnames during slavery, whereby most surnames of slaves were those of the last owner of the slaves. He also discusses differences in name-giving between the notarial records and everyday life. He further indicates that a new racism developed in the Cuban society of the late 19th c. and early 20th c., which was voiced more openly in the realm of culture, and regarding events as incarceration and death, and more hidden within the civil and judicial spheres, where the fiction of a race-blind republic was maintained.

This chapter is an applied study on fugitive black slaves in late colonial Chile (1760-1805). It is based on a selection of cases, displayed in a socioeconomic scene whose labor force, free and slave tends to circulation and vagrancy. The sources provide a rich material for a reflection focused mainly on the crossroad between labor systems, racialized groups, and the links with the territory. Based on the concept of fugitive freedom, we seek to express the diversity of aspirations in those who become runaways. Furthermore, understanding the conditions of oppression that usually drives a slave to escape, fugitive freedom allows us to think about an eventual destination hoped by fugitives that can be read in a historical way.

“…Éste es un tema que ha sido tratado de manera importante en la bibliografía para el mundo colonial hispanoamericano desde hace más de 30 años (Schwartz, 1974;Johnson, 1974). En Chile el tema está siendo abordado desde la década de 1990 en trabajos que dan cuenta de la larga trayectoria de la libertad, la cual sería un lugar común de la esclavitud (Azúa, 2001;Cussen, 2009;Ogass, 2009).…”
