This work opens up a space that has been touched lightly by our historiography: the participation of the free Black men and women in the Puerto Rican national identity. This work exalts the author and breaks myths, opening up pathways to the comprehension of the Puerto Rican past.In Education, there were many Black male and female teachers of this country who taught white children as well as black children; some Black males and females were journalists, writers, and playwrights. The contribution to music and to the fine arts was great, not only of African rhythms or of its Puerto Rican derivatives but also to those rhythms that came from Europe, that emerged, like "la danza", from an assimilation of sounds particular to the Puerto Rican ear.In the field of agricultural, domestic, and urban labors, their contribution was greater than that of the slaves, less numerous in the 1860-70 decade. Also there were landowners and professionals and their social levels passed on from the Mulatto or Black mother of Rom�n Baldorioty de Castro, who washed clothes so her son could go to school, to the ancestors of Ram�n Emeterio Betances who could send him to study to Paris. The free Black men and women were workers, businessmen, merchants and road sellers, dockers and farmers.The Puerto Rican historiography has followed the established model in other Caribbean countries, where slavery was essential to the work and economic development. In those works, a great emphasis is given on the slaves of the Island who became the center of all academic and educational attention creating a slavery mythology in a country where the work of Mar�a Gonz�lez eliminates it.

The contributions of the black population to the history and economic development of Puerto Rico have long been distorted and underplayed, Luis A. Figueroa contends. Focusing on the southeastern coastal region of Guayama, one of Puerto Rico's three leading centers of sugarcane agriculture, Figueroa examines the transition from slavery and slave labor to freedom and free labor after the 1873 abolition of slavery in colonial Puerto Rico. He corrects misconceptions about how ex-slaves went about building their lives and livelihoods after emancipation and debunks standing myths about race relations in Puerto Rico. Historians have assumed that after emancipation in Puerto Rico, as in other parts of the Caribbean and the U.S. South, former slaves acquired some land of their own and became subsistence farmers. Figueroa finds that in Puerto Rico, however, this was not an option because both capital and land available for sale to the Afro-Puerto Rican population were scarce. Paying particular attention to class, gender, and race, his account of how these libertos joined the labor market profoundly revises our understanding of the emancipation process and the evolution of the working class in Puerto Rico.

From the emergence of the first sugar plantations up until 1873, when slavery was abolished, the wealth amassed by many landowners in Puerto Rico derived mainly from the exploitation of slaves. But slavery generated its antithesis - disobedience, uprisings and flights. This book documents these expressions of collective resistance.
