- Abstract
The article discusses an 1810 labor contract between slaves and their owners--of the Dominican religious order--in the Ingenio (sugar plantation) of San Jerónimo, in Verapaz, Guatemala. It considers the historical study of the legal treatment of slaves in the Americas, comments on slave uprisings and the defense of their rights, and explores the rights and responsibilities conveyed by the San Jerónimo contract. It also reproduces the text of the cited document.
