The Historic Center of Mexico City

El Centro Histórico de la Ciudad de México: Sitio de memoria de la esclavitud y las poblaciones africanas y afrodescendientesLa Ciudad de México recibió desde el siglo XVI a un importante número de personas de diversas regiones de África, quienes - libres o esclavizadas - residieron en varias calles del actual Centro Histórico, entre ellas Alcaicerías, hoy Palma, el Esclavo, hoy República de Chile, y la Plaza de Santo Domingo.La historia de la Ciudad de México no puede entenderse sin la participación de las personas africanas y afrodescendientes, quienes a través de sus diversas herencias culturales y su trabajo cotidiano como herreros, sastres, carpinteros, nodrizas, cocineros, comerciantes, milicianos o pintores, fueron decisivos en la conformación de la sociedad mexicana.

and African populations and descendantsSince the sixteenth century Mexico City received a significant number of people from different regions of Africa. Free or enslaved they inhabited streets such as Alcaicerías, today called Palma, el Esclavo, today República de Chile, Plaza de Santo Domingo, at the heart of Mexico City's, among others.The history of Mexico City cannot be understood without the presence of Africans and African descendants. Through their diverse cultural heritages and their daily work as blacksmiths, tailors, carpenters, nurses, cooks, merchants, soldiers, or painters they were decisive in shaping Mexican society.Captions: The main areas with a population of African origin in Mexico City (16th-18th century) Map of the late 18th century with reference to 20th century locations (María Elisa Velázquez, Women of African origin in the Mexican capital of New Spain, XVII and XVIII centuries, Mexico, INAH / UNAM, 2006).
