Summary

Valongo Wharf, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2017, stands as a pivotal archaeological and historical site that sheds light on the transatlantic slave trade and its profound impact on African descendants in Brazil. The study underscores Valongo Wharf's significance as a 'sensitive memory' site, encapsulating the violence, suffering, and resistance associated with slavery while offering comparative insights into global human tragedies. Through historical analysis, the research explores how this site serves as both a testament to the atrocities of the past and a symbol of Black resistance and cultural affirmation in Rio de Janeiro.
