Description
Throughout the lengthy duration of this extremely violent slavery phenomenon
where man's cruelty is made evident, it gave rise to places of memory:
monuments, toponyms, ethnonymns, stories, legends and myths. Collective
memory has constantly recycled this basic fabric.
The aim of this Catalogue, dedicated to acknowledging the memory of places in
the Portuguese-speaking African countries, is to identify, list, map and give
information about the different sites of memory: those that can be seen and
touched, without however forgetting those which have re-enacted the creative
process thanks to oral tradition. The Exhibition Itineraries of Memory – Slavery and Slave Trade in Portuguese
Speaking Africa was produced in 2005 by the Portuguese Committee for the
UNESCO The Slave Route Project based on the first edition of this Guide. Comité Português do Protjeto UNESCO Rota do Escravo,Centro de Estudos Sobre Africa e o Desenvolvimento -IDEG UTL
