Sin embargo, durante el periodo colonial (siglos XVI – XIX) hubo un número importante de personas que fueron injustamente esclavizadas, en gran parte descendientes de africanos, aunque no exclusivamente. Estos Sitios de Memoria narran diferentes momentos de la historia colonial. En esta lista se incluyen: la Hacienda San Jerónimo, la Fortaleza de San Fernando de Omoa, San Vicente y la añileras, Ereguayquín, Zacatecoluca, el Realejo, la Puebla de los Pardos, Portobelo, la Casa de los Genoveses en Panamá la Vieja y la Nueva Panamá. Los Sitios de Memoria tienen como propósito romper el silencio con respecto a la esclavitud y recalcar las historias de lucha y contribuciones de las personas de ascendencia africana a la riqueza de la región.

A team of Central American historians carried out this investigation work, under the coordination of the University of Costa Rica and the support of UNESCO San Jose. Several novels directly witness those days of slavery through prose and poetry, ranging from episodes of slavery and marginalization, to those leading towards freedom, as stated in the book’s title.

Back then, Spain itself was embracing strong migration fluxes, displaying a wide ethnic diversity: Arabs, Syrians, English, French and Africans. The collection hence starts off questioning the meaning of the word “white”, which was used as a synonym of Spaniard, shading though a much more complex reality.A team of Central American historians carried out this investigation work, under the coordination of the University of Costa Rica and the support of UNESCO San Jose. They worked on recreating the time of the conquer of the “new world”, when mulatos and blacks arrived as free individuals. It is also conveyed the way in which important monuments, as the cathedral of Leon in Nicaragua and that of Antigua in Guatemala, were designed by black or mulato architects.

A guideline for reading and possible activities to carry out with students is also presented in the book. The volume offers as well examples and conceptual maps stemming from the articles contained in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd volume of the collection.

A team of Central American historians carried out this investigation work, under the coordination of the University of Costa Rica and the support of UNESCO San Jose.The book reports episodes of fights for freedom, ranging from maroons movement during the XVI century -which kneeled trade flows across the panama isthmus-, to modest stories of anonymous representatives of civil society, silently displaying examples of human solidarity, like slave mothers who used to give birth to their child over night, giving them to the neighbours so to have them brought up as free persons.

In addition, various ethnic/linguistic groups are also discussed in relation to their own lands and in relation to the Atlantic slave trade.

Two historical moments are defined by the founding of the Genovese Grillo and Lomelin´s Asiento, the vestiges of which are still visible in the Casa de los Genoveses in Panama Viejo. The Asiento serves as springboard to explore the political reconfigurations that took place during the period and the changing slave networks found both in the Caribbean and along the Atlantic coast of the African continent. A reconstruction is offered of the context of the export region, as well as the challenges faced upon the arrival in America. Based on secondary sources, the article explores the demographic impact of the arrival of the Africans and suggests that, without their contribution to the population, the demographic recovery, as well as the constitution of modern society, would have been very difficult.
