El objetivo de este trabajo es presentar las opiniones de Bartolomé de las Casas sobre la esclavitud a lo largo de su vida. Si durante más de treinta años Las Casas se mostró a favor de la importación de esclavos, esto se debía a su deseo de impedir la injusta servidumbre que les fue impuesta a los indios americanos por los colonos españoles en América, lo cual se explica por su deseo de hacer viable económicamente las colonias en ultramar de España. No obstante, al final de su vida Las Casas reconoce su error y hace una crítica a todas las formas de esclavitud. Esto implicará estudiar su concepto de libertad y sus fuentes. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/petm/article/view/7749 eng Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/petm/article/view/7749/6818 Patristica et Mediævalia; Vol. 36 (2015); 17-28 2683-9636 Esclavitud América Libertad Colonias Economía Slavery America Freedom Colonies Economy From slave driver to abolitionist: Bartolomé de las Casas on African slavery info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=patris&d=7749_oai
