Negreros

Synopsis of Negreros

This book by José Antonio Piqueras explores the history of slavery from the perspective of Spaniards involved in the traffic and slave capital. Challenging the view that minimizes Spanish participation, the author examines how Spain's intervention was crucial for four centuries, with the approval of kings and states. It reveals who was responsible for the deportation of millions of Africans, hidden under titles such as merchants and landowners, and how their actions impacted society and the economy. The book connects this past with current figures from high society, finance and politics, offering a complete vision of an often denied aspect of Spanish history.
