- Abstract
This article analyzes the physical movements of enslaved African or Afro-descendant women who crossed the Río Plata area in the period from 1713 to 1813. From the survey in notarial protocols, court records and licensing procedures to leave the cities, routes are reconstructed traveled by women identified with racial markers and legal status who moved alone, in the company of another person or in small groups, with or without the consent of their owners. The research leaves aside the most extreme experiences of mobility such as the Atlantic crossing and the great collective maroon. The analysis focuses on low-intensity displacements to observe the modulations of their mobilities -compulsive, coercive, reactive, voluntary- and their counterpoints with the restriction and cancellation of displacement possibilities. The typology, although arbitrary, is operative to detect the various gears that were activated in each of these modalities and to make visible the mechanism of racialization with a gender perspective.
