DESCRIPTION:In nineteenth-century Santiago de Cuba\, the island of Cuba's 
 radical cradle\, Afro-descendant peasants forged freedom and devised their
  own formative path to emancipation. Drawing on understudied archives\, th
 is talk explores a new history of Black rural geography and popular legali
 sm\, and offers a new framework for thinking about nineteenth-century Blac
 k freedom. Santiago de Cuba's Afro-descendant peasantries did not rely on 
 liberal-abolitionist ideologies as a primary reference point in their stru
 ggle for rights. Instead\, they negotiated their freedom and land piecemea
 l\, through colonial legal frameworks that allowed for local custom and ma
 numission. They gradually wore down the institution of slavery through lit
 igation and self-purchase. Long before residents of Cuba protested for nat
 ional independence and island-wide emancipation in 1868\, it was Santiago'
 s Afro-descendant peasants who\, gradually and invisibly\, laid the ground
 work for emancipation.
