The course aims to study the origins of inequality, racial prejudice and the poverty that a large portion of the Afro American communities in Latin America and the Caribbean currently live in.

It also offers a global perspective of the phenomenon of slavery, from the introduction of the first slaves to the abolition of this "peculiar institution". Conducted in Spanish.
