| contents | Migration and the historical formation of Latin America in a global perspective José Moya Sociología Slavery Migration Latin America Atlantic World Race and ethnicity In this article I analyse how transcontinental migrations, the various forms that these took (Paleolithic first settlement, conquest and colonialism, slavery, free mass movements, and mercantile diasporas), and the way these interacted in the receiving environments, shaped the historical formation of Latin America. The article shows how these interactions explain the key apparent contradictions of Latin America: that it is both the most racially diverse and the most culturally homogeneous region in the world; that it has the highest crime/homicide rates but also the lowest levels of civil and international wars, holocausts, and other forms of collective violence; and that it has the highest levels of social inequality in the world but also some of its historically most egalitarian areas. 2018 artículo científico 1517-4522 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=86858087003 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/868/86858087003/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/868/86858087003/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/868/86858087003/86858087003.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/868/86858087003/movil 10.1590/15174522-02004902 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=868 Sociologias application/pdf Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul Sociologias (Brasil) Num.49 Vol.20 |
