ABSTRACT There is an extensive bibliography that demonstrates the complicity that Africans and Europeans maintained in the Atlantic Slave Trade. Especially, in regard to the role played by numerous African kingdoms in the capture, sale and shipment of slaves from the coasts of Africa, to the american colonies throughout the 18th & 19th centuries. Less known is the participation of Africans and their descendants in the middle passage as crews of Spanish ships destined for Cuba; specifically during the period between 1817, with the signing of the first Anglo-Spanish treaty to abolish the Slave Trade and 1845, when the Spanish Penal Code included sanctions for the crime of trading slaves. It is also very interesting the presence of sailors of African origin who were born in the American colonies, and who ended up finding a place in illegal trafficking. A presence that, although not numerous, was undoubtedly part of the dynamics that generated slavery and the dreadful commerce of human beings across the Atlantic.

奴隶贸易中的黑暗面孔。西班牙船只中的非洲裔水手（1817-1845）

摘要 有大量参考书目展示了非洲人和欧洲人在大西洋奴隶贸易中的共谋。特别是关于许多非洲王国在整个 18 和 19 世纪从非洲海岸捕获、出售和运送奴隶到美洲殖民地方面所扮演的角色。鲜为人知的是，非洲人及其后代作为前往古巴的西班牙船只的船员参与了中间通道；特别是在 1817 年签署了第一个废除奴隶贸易的英西条约和 1845 年期间，西班牙刑法典包括对贩卖奴隶罪的制裁。出生在美洲殖民地的非洲裔水手的存在也非常有趣，谁最终在非法贩运中找到了一席之地。这种存在虽然不是很多，但无疑是产生奴隶制和跨大西洋人类可怕贸易的动力的一部分。
