This talk focuses on an afro-diasporic community located in an Andalusian town (Southern Spain). It concerns a series of families whose identity is linked to the early modern slave trade, while Spanish mainstream society tends not to remember this period of its history. During the session, we will reflect on the boundaries between history and social experience in this specific context.
