This workshop is related to the research field of The Legal History of Ibero-America and will cover legal historical topics in different regions and periods. The first two presentations deal with different ways of how slaves could achieve their liberation: thanks to the ?religious sanctuary policy? in the Spanish Caribbean during the late 17th and 18th century, or by way of ?ações de liberdade? in Portugal and Brazil from the 17th to the 19th centuries. The third presentation examines how penal law and social practice faced the problem of infanticides in Argentina around 1900.
