From the contribution to the national identity to the reivindication of minority status. Slavery and Afrodescendants in the Uruguayan historiography
Abstract
This article cast light on the historiography about Africans and their descendants in Uruguay from 1930s to the beginning of the 21st Century. Although in Uruguay the literature about Afrodescendants and slavery has certain tradition, diversity, and a great deal of ups and downs in relation to quality, it is not a part of the Uruguayan historiographical corpus. Historical and historiographical general works recently produced in Uruguay have forgotten the literature on Afrodescendants. However, there is certain renaissance of the studies about Afrodescendants and slavery since the last years, which come from both the academy and non-governmental organizations.
Key words:afrodescendants, slavery, Uruguay.Downloads
