DESCRIPTION:As a legal system\, the transatlantic slavery created a framew
 ork for the comprehension of practices\, beliefs and actions of the Africa
 ns and their descendants in the colonial societies across the Americas. He
 nce\, legal categories such as “slave\, free and maroon” generated dis
 tinctions between licit crafts\, places\, and geographies (cities\, hacien
 das and palenques). How to tell the history of African and African descent
  communities beyond the borders of slavery? What does materiality tell us 
 about their knowledge and the ways into which they inhabited places? Using
  archival sources and material culture\, I analyze the case of five maroon
  settlements of the 17th and 18th centuries at the north coast of Colombia
 . While the Kinship relations allows following the ties between the inhabi
 ted palenques\, the material culture recovered on field\, suggest a broade
 r network of connections. In extend\, I discuss the emergence and persiste
 nce of what I have called a landscape of freedom.\n\nThis presentation wil
