Afro-Peruvian servants in Lima, early 19th century
Afro-Peruvian are descendant of Africans brought to Peru. They number 5 to 10% of the population. The population is estimated at 2 million. Large numbers can be found in the southern coast Chincha, Lima, Cañete.Nazca, Callao, and Ica, in the north Morropón Province.
History
The first Afro-Peruvians arrived with Francisco Pizzaro as slaves, sailors, and soldiers. African soldiers were with Francisco Pizzaro when he conquered the Incas in 1533. Notable slave soldier Juan Valiente was among his troops. Valiente was the only black person, slave to be awarded an encomienda, groups of indians paying tribute.
After the conquest, Afro-Peruvians were used in construction of the now hispanised Lima and Cuzco, building roads, and clearing lands. Indians were used in the gold and silver mines. Black slaves were initially considered unfit for mining. Increasingly, Afro-Peruvian slaves began to be used in agriculture, as haciendas began to prop up, growing cotton and later sugar, along the coast, due to indians dieing out and fleeing.
Slaves were imported from Africa and made an overland journey that took months. Many died. Slaves contributed their knowledge of farming and metalwork, which they had acquired from Africa before being captured.
Spanish law allowed slaves to purchase their freedom. At the turn of the sixteenth century, their was a substantial free population of Afro-Peruvian--libertos. They were free but life was very regulated. They could not join the skilled trade profession. They could not own firearms. Most worked as domestics and joined the military. Plus, it was mostly women and children, particularly girls were freed, since they were considered the least valuable, between 1580-1650.
Increasingly, slaves were being used in the mines. This increased mortality causing demand for more slaves. By the 1700s, most slave owners went outside of the asiento to purchase slaves. The asiento was a designated provider, like the French or Dutch. By 1795, the Spanish decreed one could purchase slave from any seller--other Spanish territorries or any nation willing to sell.
In 1821, Peru vied for independence. In 1824, Antonio Jose de Sucre with a troop of predominantly libertos, slaves, and mestizo defeated loyalists at Ayacucho, sealing Peru's independence. Independence did not bring an end to slavery, numerous revolts would occur, until Peru's civil war in 1854, in which Ramon Castilla promised an end to slavery for service. Castilla won the civil war and kept his word. Slavery ended in December of 1854.
The freeing of slaves caused a labor shortage, resulting in the importation of indentured Chinese labor. Most Afro-Peruvians fled to the cities, as well as Indians. Work was hard to come by. Afro-Peruvians found themselves residing in slums, well into the twentieth century and facing much discrimination.

Revolts
Afro-Peruvians revolted against slavery and abuse. The 1540s saw numerous outbreaks of rebellion, which were immediately put down. Slaves fled their masters called cimarones and formed palenques. The most famous was founded by Francisco Congo or Chavelilla, palenque Huachipa, which was a prosperous farming, ranching, and raiding community. Between 1763 and 1764, cimarones of Carabayllo attacked travellers and government officials. It took an army unit to put an end to their raiding. During the rebellion of indian leader Tupac Amaru, libertos sided with the rebellion because of an attempt to tax them. Although Tupac's rebellion was a failure, it prompted the government never to tax libertos.
Culture
Afro-Peruvian culture can be seen in the food, which retains strong African influences. After all, it was slaves who did all the cooking. In the music strong poly-rthymic traditions mixed with strong string traditions. Afro-Peruvian music is referred to as música criolla. Its major exponent has been Susana Baca, Peru Negro. Religious syncretism has occurred and can be seen in the celebration of El Señor de los Milagros. The reverence of saints is fused with African beliefs.
Modern Status
After World War II, Peru underwent major political change, from rule by oligarchy, to more democratic representation, but under military control. Peruvian cities became centers of Afro-Peruvian culture. Afro-Peruvian culture, history, literature, and music was taught. During the 1960s and 1970s inspired by the U.S. civil rights, Afro-Peruvians formed political organizations, like Francisco Congo Black Movement. The numerous groups never coalesced under one entity except in the 1970s, under the Association of Black Peruvian Youth, teaching Afro-Peruvian culture, history, and raising awareness of Afro-Peruvian issues. During the 1980s and 1990s, no single organization emerged representing Afro-Peruvian issues.
In 2009, the government of Peru apologised to Afro-Peruvian for slavery, racism, and continued discrimination, the first in Latin America to acknowledge ungoing problems of discrimination and racism.
2% of Afro-Peruvians pursue higher level education and 27% finish high school.

María Chinquiquirá (pronounced Cheen-kee-kee-RAH), a former black slave in what is now Ecuador's largest city, Guayaquil, is today an important symbol in Ecuador, particularly among Afro-Ecuadorians María, born in Guayaquil had a history of being mistreated by men. She lived during the 16th century, a time when being black meant being a slave in Ecuador. Her intelligence, knowledge, and determination along with a thorough understanding of her rights according to Ecuadorian law, changed the course of her history and those of thousands of women in Ecuador as she became the first slave in Ecuador to win her freedom and that of her daughter through a legal battle in May 1794. She won her freedom by accusing her masters of dishonorable acts including, siring children with slave women, requiring work on Sundays, withholding time for mass, and failing to provide instruction in the faith. Her portrait hangs in the Museum of Nahim Isaias in Guayaquil.

Although the majority of Mexicans do not have any African Ancestry, a small percentage of Mexicans in Veracruz and Oaxaca states have black ancestry.
Mexican anthropologist Gonzalo Aguirre Beltrán estimated that there were six blacks who took part in the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire. The first African slave brought to Mexico is said to be Juan Cortés, a slave who accompanied Hernán Cortés in 1519. Another conquistador, Pánfilo de Narváez, brought an African slave who has been blamed for the smallpox epidemic of 1520. Early slaves were likely personal servants or concubines of their Spanish masters, who had been brought to Spain first and came with the conquistadors.
Slave rebellions occurred in Mexico as in other parts of the Americas, with the first in Veracruz in 1537. Runaway slaves were called cimarrones, who mostly fled to the highlands between Veracruz and Puebla, with a number making their way to the Costa Chica region in what are now Guerrero and Oaxaca .[10][13] Runaways in Veracruz formed settlements called “palenques” which would fight off Spanish authorities. The most famous of these was led by Gaspar Yanga, who fought the Spanish for forty years until the Spanish recognized their autonomy in 1608, making San Lorenzo de los Negros (today Yanga) the first community of free blacks in the Americas.[10][1

Decline of the Afro-Argentine population
The bloody War of Paraguay (1865-1870) and the Yellow Fever Epidemic have been attributed to the drastic diminution of the Afro-Argentine population.
Causes of Reduction
- Heavy casualties caused by constant civil wars and foreign wars: Blacks formed a disproportionate part of the Argentine army in the long and bloody War of Paraguay (1865–1870), in which the loss of lives on both sides were high.
- Epidemics, especially of yellow fever in 1871: the traditional history holds that the epidemics had greater impact in areas where the poorest people lived.
- Emigration (meaning movement of a population out of one country to another, as opposed to immigration: movement of people into a country from another). Large numbers of Afro-Argentines emigrated particularly to Uruguay and Brazil, where black populations had historically been larger and had a more favorable political climate;
- Massive immigration from Europe between 1880 and 1950,[12] boosted by the Constitution of 1853, that quickly multiplied the country's population. Like Australia in the 1950s to 1980s, European immigrants were encouraged while non-Europeans were virtually excluded.
Slavery was officially abolished in Argentina in 1813, although many Afro-Argentine were still held as slaves, and were only granted their freedom as a condition of fighting in Argentina's wars. For this reason, African males had disproportionate numbers in the war against Spain for Argentina's independence. A huge number of African descended males were killed in the war compared to the Spanish Argentines.
Unfortunately, a free Afro-Argentine had less chance of survival than an enslaved Afro-Argentine. Enslaved Afro-Argentines were seen as investments, and so were taken good care of. On the other hand, free Afro-Argentines were left with menial jobs for low pay, or forced to become beggars in the streets. For this reason, poverty in the Afro-Argentine community was prevalent at the time. In fact, many Afro-Argentines died from disease because they could not afford proper medical care. Many Afro-Argentines were decimated by frequent plagues like yellow fever.[
Man, you don't know how much time i spent on here arguing with nikkaz about Argentina's diminished Black population.
They dumb asses actually thought that Argentina's Black population is almost extinct because of nikkaz "lusting after White women", as opposed to wars, famine, and diseases
french is just as much of a latin language as spanish tho and yall live in latin america
every haitian i would hit with this logic would just look at me like
Haitains have dealt with enough racist Latino's to know they do not want that Latin association.
They dont want to be grouped or lumped with Latino's.
This is an amazing thread. The name calafate came from Angola(my native country). Calafate is our name for the fish know as Umbrina Cirrosa. It is usually part of one of the most famous dishes in the country, the mufete.
