  • Sites of Memory of Atlantic Slavery in European Towns with an Excursus on the Caribbean Ulrike Schmieder1
    Cuadernos Inter.c.a.mbio sobre Centroamérica y el Caribe Vol. 15, No. 1, abril-setiembre, 2018, ISSN: 1659-0139 Sites of Memory of Atlantic Slavery in European Towns with an Excursus on the Caribbean Ulrike Schmieder1 Abstract Recepción: 7 de agosto de 2017/ Aceptación: 4 de diciembre de 2017 For a long time, the impact of Atlantic slavery on European societies was discussed in academic circles, but it was no part of national, regional and local histories. In the last three decades this has changed, at different rhythms in the former metropolises. The 150th anniversary of the abolition of slavery in France (1998) and the 200th anniversary of the prohibition of the slave trade in Great Britain (2007) opened the debates to the broader public. Museums and memorials were established, but they coexist with monu- ments to slave traders as benefactors of their town. In Spain and Portugal the process to include the remembrance of slavery in local and national history is developing more slowly, as the impact of slave trade on Spanish and Portuguese urbanization and in- dustrialization is little known, and the legacies of recent fascist dictatorships are not yet overcome. This article focuses on sites of commemoration and silent traces of slavery. Keywords Memory; slave trade; slavery; European port towns; Caribbean Resumen Durante mucho tiempo, la influencia de la esclavitud atlántica sobre sociedades euro- peas fue debatida en círculos académicos, pero no fue parte de historias nacionales, regionales y locales. En las últimas tres décadas esto ha cambiado a diferentes ritmos en las antiguas metrópolis. El 150 aniversario de la abolición de la esclavitud en Francia (1998) y el bicentenario de la prohibición del tráfico de esclavizados en Gran Bretaña (2007) abrieron los debates a un público más amplio.

The Treaty entered into force in 1952 for a period of fifty years and expired on 23 July 2002. On expiry of the Treaty, ownership of ECSC funds reverted to the Member States (Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Greece, Spain, France, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Austria, Portugal, Finland, Sweden and the United Kingdom). The final objective laid down by the Member States was the transfer of ECSC funds to the European Community (EC) and the creation of a joint research fund in sectors associated with the coal and steel industries. The Nice European Council decided to annex to the Treaty of Nice a Protocol on the financial consequences of the expiry of the ECSC Treaty and on the creation and management of the Coal and Steel Research Fund.

    José María Aznar López España, Presidente del Gobierno Duración del mandato: 05 de Mayo de 1996 - de de Nacimiento: Madrid, 25 de Febrero de 1953 Partido político: PP Profesión : Inspector de hacienda ResumenLos atentados cometidos el 11 de marzo de 2004 por Al Qaeda en Madrid, tres días antes de las elecciones generales, y su fulminante impacto en la orientación del voto, con el resultado inesperado de la fuerte derrota del Partido Popular (PP) y el regreso al poder del Partido Socialista el 17 de abril, pusieron colofón a los ocho años de gobierno de José María Aznar en España. En estas dos legislaturas, el líder conservador aplicó unas profundas reformas liberales de la economía que redujeron el paro, liquidaron el déficit público y aseguraron la adopción de la moneda única europea, y combatió eficazmente al terrorismo vasco. Duro fustigador de los nacionalismos periféricos y progresivamente alejado del perfil centrista y dialogante desde que el PP ganara la mayoría absoluta en 2000 y dejara de necesitar los pactos de legislatura, en política exterior Aznar se alineó incondicionalmente con Estados Unidos a raíz del 11-S y copatrocinó la invasión de Irak, postura que concitó un vasto rechazo popular. http://www.cidob.org 1 of 91 Biografía 1.
