In the history of the #revolts against #slavery, enslaved #women must not be reduced to the role of passive victims of colonial violence. This is particularly evident in the case of Carlota #Lucumí, who heroically defended herself against her oppressors with a machete in her hand and is still considered a revolutionary #symbol of Cuba today.
Long before the Cuban Revolution, the so-called #Triunvirato #Revolution shaped the history of the island, during which numerous #slaves rose up against their owners. It was a large movement that took hold of several plantations. For once, the rebellion was led by a woman who is now revered as a hero and #resistance fighter in #Cuba: #Carlota.

‘Operation Carlota, Cuba's internationalist #solidarity mission with the peoples of Angola and #South Africa, was to last more than 15 years. During this time, more than 330,000 Cubans served in #Angola to defend the independence and #freedom and the right of Angola, the #self-determination of the peoples of southern #Africa.’

Lange vor der kubanischen Revolution hat die sogenannte Triunvirato-Revolution die Geschichte der Insel geprägt, in deren Verlauf sich zahlreiche Sklaven gegen ihre Besitzer erhoben. Es war eine große Bewegung, die mehrere Plantagen ergriff. Angeführt wurde der Aufstand ausnahmsweise mal von einer Frau, die heute als Heldin und Widerstandskämpferin in Kuba verehrt wird: Carlota.
