Abstract

Despite its significant relevance, there are still chapters that go unnoticed in historical discourse. The conquest of the Canary Islands was not only a territorial annexation that continues to this day, but also a testing ground for institutions, practices and power relations that would later be transferred to America. The enslavement of Canarians has been treated sporadically and residually, leaving much to be done in analysing the data that reflects the forced diaspora they suffered and that would allow us to develop a discourse on the processes to which they were subjected, first of enslavement and, potentially, finally, of liberation.

Pese a su relevancia significativa, aún existen capítulos que pasan desapercibidos en el discurso histórico. La conquista de las islas Canarias supuso no solamente una anexión territorial que perdura hasta hoy, sino una tierra de testeo para instituciones, prácticas y relaciones de poder que se trasladarían a América. La esclavización de canarios ha sido tratada de forma esporádica y residual, quedando un largo camino para poder analizar los datos que reflejen la diáspora forzada que sufrieron y que permita elaborar un discurso sobre los procesos a los que se vieron sometidos, de esclavización, primero, y de liberación, potencialmente, por último.
