LA CULTURA COMO INSTRUMENTO
La presencia of African descent in the Americas is a consequence of the transatlantic slave trade of Africans. For nearly four years, 1502 first edit authorizing the entry of Africans as slaves to the Americas and 1888 the legal abolition of slavery in Brazil, throughout this period there was abduction of Africans and distribution in all countries of the Americas and Caribbean presence of African descent.
This commercialization of human beings was a continuing violation of the rights of Africans, including the most basic as life and liberty. This attitude will always support the racist attitude of the Europeans who were assigned the racial superiority of other peoples, especially those not white, as well as a plan of God to exercise command over all non-Christian peoples.
The United Nations defines the slave trade as a crime against humanity and believes he should be conceived as such. This offense under the statute of the International Criminal Court does not prescribe, and gives him the right to individuals and their descendants to claim compensation.
The presence of Africans in these territories with the presence of these countries, both in its demographic composition and in its social and cultural structure.
African American cultures are due to the presence of multiple cultures from a wide geographic area and multicultural as the African continent, and secondly is the recreation of these cultures, adapting to new conditions, as well as the joint construction with indigenous communities and the influence of European culture. They are in short
new cultures.
cultural space especially the development of artistic activities are spaces of resistance, ie space where you can preserve the fundamental values \u200b\u200bof African cultures, the space where you can develop and strengthen organizational processes in a given space Afro-descendants as a social, political and economic.
Overall
developed cultures in our societies have not allowed the impact on self-representation in areas of politics, as well as the social and resource generation.
These are challenges that we set from the proposal of the triangulation Kultural, dialogue with the political space, participation in decision-making forums, self-representation and construction of culture as a useful tool to the needs of producers.
