ABSTRACT

‘Diego García’ was the name given to a West African-born man who was brought to Costa Rica at the turn of the eighteenth century. His life history reflects many of the unusual features particular to the slave regime in that peripheral Spanish colony. These include rapid creolization, the intense and sustained contacts between members of different ethnic and racial groups, the broad geographical mobility of male slaves, the spatial separation of male and female Africans in the colony, and the enhanced possibilities for manumission available to male Africans.

摘要

'Diego García' 是一个出生于西非的男子的名字，他在 18 世纪之交被带到哥斯达黎加。他的生活经历反映了西班牙周边殖民地奴隶制度的许多不同寻常的特征。这些包括快速的克里奥化、不同民族和种族群体成员之间的密切和持续的接触、男性奴隶的广泛地理流动、殖民地中男性和女性非洲人的空间分离以及男性非洲人获得更多的奴隶制可能性。
