Description
About two hours south of Lima on the Pan-American Highway, near a Peruvian port where enslaved Africans disembarked on the Pacific Coast, lies the rural province of Chincha. A dirt road leads inland to several small districts where Blacks settled after abolition, continuing to perform agricultural labor. A painted wall at the end of the road beckons:“Welcome to the district of El Carmen, cradle and capital of the black arts of Peru”(figure 1).
