BLACK SPAIN
Africans, Maghrebis and Latins (1808-1975). Blackness, resistance and deracialization of elites
Description

The central theme of this project is the study of African, Maghrebi, Caribbean and Latin communities settled in Spain between 1808 and 1975, with the general objective of documenting and promoting the contemporary history of black Spain.

For this, a triangulation between three continents is proposed -Europe, Africa and America- from the Spanish case, in a period that begins in a contemporary age marked by the American independences and ends with the African decolonizations. This temporary framework will allow us to trace the black presence in the peninsula for labor, religious, exile or artistic reasons, offering new casuistries that allow us to build a history of African, Latino, Caribbean and North African memories and legacies that puts into circulation a past of black-Hispanic traces still very unknown.

The final objective is to document the different experiences of African and Latino groups in the peninsula to promote a history of Spain of black centrality that can, on the one hand, contribute to map out Hispanic-based transcontinental exchange genealogies and, on the other, promote greater democratic cohesion based on common memories and shared citizenships.
