Remanentes socio-históricos y culturales de la esclavitud urbana en el centro Histórico La Habana Vieja

Urban slavery played a significant and complex role in shaping the history, culture, and development of Old Havana, yet its legacy has been underrepresented in heritage management. This study reveals that cultural resistance was a powerful tool for enslaved Africans, contributing to the formation of a transculturated society. It challenges the stereotype of plantation slavery by highlighting urban slavery's unique characteristics and its enduring impact on Havana's architectural landscape, popular traditions, and religious practices. The research systematically links previous investigations with persistent sites in Old Havana, offering a nuanced perspective on the African influence on Cuban culture beyond religious practices.
