Abstract
El presente estudio analiza la incidencia de los libres de todos los colores en las actividades de tipo manual y dinámicas comerciales de Cartagena de Indias, bajo el marco de las reformas borbónicas en la Nueva Granada (1770-1810). A fin de explorar la organización poblacional en el virreinato, se esboza el contexto geográfico, político, militar y administrativo de la ciudad, cuyo escenario era de alzamientos y búsqueda de mayor participación frente al control monárquico. Se toma como principal insumo el censo de 1777, el cual se aproxima al número de habitantes y ofrece información racial, laboral y espacial que denota la diversificación social y económica expandida en Cartagena.
Desde la historia social, este proyecto examina las condiciones y elementos de la infraestructura de la ciudad que, entre los siglos XVIII y XIX, expandieron los sistemas productivos en materia económica, militar y portuaria, en una instalación y modelación de capital según el esquema urbanístico español. Dado que la instrucción de oficios representó un camino de transformación económica y cierta disolución de las barreras interpuestas por el color de la piel, se propone una mirada complementaria sobre la cotidianidad de Cartagena de Indias desde las poblaciones de color, en torno a la formación y movilidad laboral anexas al crecimiento de la ciudad, lo cual resulta significativo desde la historiografía por distar de la tradicional mirada hacia la esclavitud y el protagonismo de otros sectores que han marcado el discurso de la historia de Colombia.
This study analyzes the impact of freed people of all colors on the manual activities and commercial dynamics of Cartagena de Indias, within the framework of Bourbon reforms in Nueva Granada (1770-1810). In order to explore the population organization in the viceroyalty, the geographical, political, military, and administrative context of the city is outlined, which was characterized by uprisings and a quest for greater participation against monarchical control. The main source of information is the 1777 census, which approximates the number of inhabitants and provides racial, occupational, and spatial information reflecting the social and economic diversification expanded in Cartagena. From a social history perspective, this project examines the conditions and elements of the city's infrastructure that, between the 18th and 19th centuries, expanded productive systems in economic, military, and port matters, through the establishment and shaping of capital according to the Spanish urban planning scheme. Since trade instruction represented a path of economic transformation and a certain dissolution of barriers imposed by skin color, a complementary look at the everyday life of Cartagena de Indias from populations of color is proposed, focusing on the formation and labor mobility associated with the city's growth. This is significant from historiography as it moves away from the traditional focus on slavery and highlights the prominence of other sectors that have shaped the discourse of Colombia's history.
