On the basis of the study of the proceedings of a trial started by a slave woman and her husband against the family of her dead master, and of the contradictions emerging from the litigants’ declarations, this article intends to make some reflections on the foundations of slavery and freedom in the society of Cartagena in the late colonial time. The analysis focuses first on the juridical and social aspects, highlighting the difficulties in establishing, in an age of deep social transformations, clear-cut distinctions between slaves and free people. From the words of the litigants unexplored conceptions of slavery and freedom emerge. In order to define the relationship between the slave Rafaela and her master and father, old notions of blood bonds and aristocratic values are employed.
