| description | The essay examines the emergence of a nationalist ideology of racial equality during the Spanish American wars of independence in Caribbean New Granada; in particular for the case of the Province of Cartagena de Indias. In her analysis, its author shows how creole elites erased afro-descendants from Colombian historic narratives; a historiographic tendency that has remained on in the works of contemporary social historians. Then she focuses on the case of the process which led to the independence of Cartagena de Indias, in which Free Coloreds played a key role. She concludes arguing that the racism that appeared in Colombia in the 19th century was not merely a variation of colonial patterns of inequality, but something new that emerged in the aftermath of the wars of independence. |
