Slave Route Project
Worldwide

Launched by UNESCO in 1994, the Slave Route Project aims on the one hand to study and get to know the profound causes and modalities of the slave trade, and on the other hand, to underline the interactions generated by it, in the Americas, West Indies and the Indian Ocean. The slave trade generated, through encounters in the Americas, the Caribbean and in Indian Ocean, pluralist cultures whose value and creative potential have been denied for a long time. It has developed vast interactions between Africans, Amerindians and Europeans, which is a vital challenge for the third millennium today in the Americans and West Indies.
