- Title
Caracterizando la trata ilegal en Cuba: espacios, redes y actores.

- Abstract
The article offers a general overview of the dynamics of the illegal slave trade in Cuba after the application of the first Hispanic British abolition treaty, signed in 1817, and, above all, after the second treaty, signed in 1835. Combining highly detailed case studies with a globalizing ambition, the article offers an explanatory synthesis of the tasks performed by different agents in Africa and especially on the island of Cuba. It describes and analyses in depth the networks that made possible the landing of more than 500,000 enslaved Africans between 1821 and 1866 on Cuban soil. This occurred despite the fact that the slave trade was an illegal activity that was pursued, to some extent, by authorities. For the most part, slaves were sent to the limited space of the sugar cane plantation zones of the island.
