Herencias de la Esclavitud en Cartagena de Indias: los Lugares de Memoria

Cartagena de Indias' legacy of slavery is intricately linked to its urban and rural development, shaped by the slave trade's economic and demographic impact. The study reveals how the port city's growth was significantly influenced by the role of slave owners and the enslaved population, with a focus on historical figures that defined this era. It further explores the spatial dynamics of slavery in Cartagena, analyzing both the places occupied by victims and those constructed as sites of resistance by escaped slaves. This work bridges history, memory, and heritage to provide a nuanced understanding of the enduring effects of slavery on the region's landscape.
