Descrição

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.
