    Expresiones de libertad y creación de un sujeto político. La ruptura del régimen esclavista en el Valle del Chota a principios del siglo XIX.
    (Asociación Española de Americanicistas, 2022) Carrascal Jijón, Samantha Liceth
    En las últimas décadas del siglo XVIII la población esclavizada del Valle del Chota desarrolló un discurso de reivindicación de derechos que culminaron en lo que he llamado la creación de un sujeto político, desde su propia realidad, lenguaje y vinculado a su territorio ancestral. Es así que, tras la lectura archivística de las demandas judiciales que los afrochoteños emprendieron para esta época, en este artículo se va a analizar el repertorio cultural de rebeldía y libertad, entendidas como acciones políticas (huidas, enfrentamientos, juicios y violencia) que les permitieron desobedecer y sublevase contra la autoridad colonial. Podemos decir que, para inicios del siglo XIX, el Valle del Chota vivía en una independencia de facto.

    Background The quality of the statistics on causes of death (CoD) does not present consolidated indicators in literature further than the coding group of ill-defined conditions of the International Classification of Diseases. Our objective was to assess the territorial quality of CoD by reliability of the official mortality statistics in Spain over the years 1980–2019. Methods A descriptive epidemiological design of four decades (1980-, 1990-, 2000-, and 2010–2019) by region (18) and sex was implemented. The CoD cases, age-adjusted rates and ratios (to all-cause) were assigned by reliability to unspecific and ill-defined quality categories. The regional mortality rates were contrasted to the Spanish median by decade and sex by the Comparative Mortality Ratio (CMR) in a Bayesian perspective. Statistical significance was considered when the CMR did not contain the value 1 in the 95% credible intervals. Results Unspecific, ill-defined, and all-cause rates by region and sex decreased over 1980–2019, although they scored higher in men than in women. The ratio of ill-defined CoD decreased in both sexes over these decades, but was still prominent in 4 regions. CMR of ill-defined CoD in both sexes exceeded the Spanish median in 3 regions in all decades. In the last decade, women’s CMR significantly exceeded in 5 regions for ill-defined and in 6 regions for unspecific CoD, while men’s CMR exceeded in 4 and 2 of the 18 regions, respectively on quality categories. Conclusions The quality of mortality statistics of causes of death has increased over the 40 years in Spain in both sexes. Quality gaps still remain mostly in Southern regions. Authorities involved might consider to take action and upgrading regional and national death statistics, and developing a systematic medical post-grade training on death certification.
