| description | Considered the first autobiographical account of an Afrodescendant slave published in America, A Narrative of the Uncommon Sufferings, and Surprizing Deliverance of Briton Hammon, a Negro Man (Boston 1760) has not yet been translated into Spanish. This work, encompassing shipwreck, Native American captivity, slavery in Cuba, and slavery in Massachusetts, is of interest to Spanish-speaking scholars not only for its foundational character but also because Havana is a key location in Briton Hammon's captivity story. The text reflects the tense relationship between the Hispanic Caribbean and the British colonies in America in the 18th century. The following pages offer a translation and an introductory study of the same.

Considerado el primer relato autobiográfico de un esclavo afrodescendiente publicado en América, A Narrative of the Uncommon Sufferings, and Surprizing Deliverance of Briton Hammon, a Negro Man (Boston 1760) carece hasta ahora de una traducción al español. Esta obra de naufragio, cautiverio indígena, esclavitud en Cuba y esclavitud en Massachusetts le debe importar al estudioso hispanohablante no solo por su carácter fundacional, sino también porque La Habana es uno de los lugares clave en el que se desarrolla la historia de cautiverio de Briton Hammon. El texto refleja la relación tensa entre el Caribe hispánico y las colonias británicas de América en el siglo XVIII. Las siguientes páginas ofrecen una traducción y un estudio introductorio del mismo. Considéré comme le premier récit autobiographique d’un esclave d’ascendance africaine publié en Amérique, A Narrative of the Uncommon Sufferings, and Surprizing Deliverance of Briton Hammon, a Negro Man (Boston 1760) manquait jusqu’à présent de traduction espagnole. Ce travail sur le naufrage, la captivité indigène, l’esclavage à Cuba et l’esclavage dans le Massachusetts devrait intéresser l’érudit hispanophone non seulement en raison de son caractère fondateur, mais aussi parce que La Havane est l’un des lieux clés où se déroule l’histoire de la captivité du Britannique. Le texte reflète la relation tendue entre les Caraïbes hispaniques et les colonies britanniques d’Amérique au XVIIIe siècle. Les pages suivantes en proposent une traduction et une étude introductive.
