    he slave trade represents a dramatic


    encounter of history and geography. This four
    century long tragedy has been one of the
    greatest dehumanizing enterprises in human history.
    It constitutes one of the first forms of globalization.
    The resultant slavery system, an economic and
    commercial type of venture organization, linked
    different regions and continents: Africa, the Arab
    World, Asia, the Indian Ocean, the Caribbean and
    the Americas. It was based on an ideology:
    a conceptual structure founded on contempt for
    the black man and set up in order to justify the sale
    of human beings (black Africans in this case) as a
    mobile asset: For this is how they were regarded
    in the black codes, which constituted the legal
    framework of slavery in the Americas.

    These slave trade maps are only a first


    draft. Based on currently available historical data
    gathered by Joseph Harris (USA) about the slave
    trade and slavery, they should be completed to
    the extent that the theme networks of researchers,
    set up by UNESCO, continue to bring to light the
    deeper layers of the iceberg by exploiting archives
    and oral traditions. It will then be possible to
    understand that the black slave trade forms the
    invisible stuff of relations between Africa,
    the Arab World, Europe, the Indian Ocean, Asia,
    the Americas and the Caribbean.

    The history of this dissimulated tragedy, its


    deeper causes, its modalities and consequences
    have yet to be better elucidated: This is the basic
    objective that the UNESCOs member states set
    for the Slave Route Project. The issues at stake
    are: historical truth, human rights, development,
    identity and citizenship in the modern multicultural
    societies. The idea of route signifies, first and
    foremost, the identification of itineraries of
    humanity, i.e. circuits followed by the slave trade.
    In this sense, geography sheds light on history.
    In fact, the slave trade map not only lends
    substance to this early form of international
    trade, but also, by showing the courses it took,
    illuminates the impact of the system.
