Durante el siglo XIX las sociedades secretas Ekpe (Egbo) del Cross River y Abakuá de Cuba, fueron llamados " masonería negra". Ekpe (Egbo) tenía una función social, política y económica que regulaba la sociedad Calabar. Sus miembros, jefes de las familias más poderosas de Calabar, administraban el comercio de esclavos con los europeos. Tanto su ejercicio esotérico privado como sus mascaradas públicas se integraron como mecanismo de su dinámica económica. Finalmente, sus miembros serían víctimas de ese comercio de esclavos que han ayudado a alimentar y terminarán como sujetos esclavizados en Cuba dando origen a lo Abakuá. A través de la historia comparada intentaremos acercarnos a las dinámicas inversas de la incorporación de blancos para Ekpe (Egbo) y Abakuá y de sujetos negros para la masonería regular.
During the nineteenth century, the secret societies Ekpe (Egbo) of the Cross River and Cuban Abakuá, were called "a kind of black masonry." Ekpe (Egbo) had a social, political and economic function that regulated the Calabar society. Its members, heads of the most powerful families in Calabar, managed the slave trade with the Europeans. Both his private esoteric exercise and public masquerades were integrated as a mechanism of his economic dynamics. Finally, its members will be victims of this slave trade that has helped feed and will end up as enslaved subjects in Cuba giving rise to the Abakuá. Through comparative history, we will try to approach the inverse dynamics of the incorporation of whites for Ekpe (Egbo) and Abakuá and black subjects for regular masonry.
