These events can be divided into two groups, those occurred at shallow depths below the geothermal area and those at greater depths below the high region of Cerro Domuyo. Shallow events were located around the Manchana Covunco fault and many of them were particularly clustered at its intersection with the Humazo fault.
Journal of South American Earth Sciences (IF ) Pub Date: Cerro Domuyo, in northwestern Neuquén province of Argentina, shows Journal of African Earth Sciences (IF ) Pub Date: Journal of South American Earth Sciences (IF ) Pub Date: , DOI: Journal of African Earth Sciences (IF ) Pub Date: of the Upper Mulichinco Formation, Neuquén Basin, Argentina.
Seismicity in the area shows that these faults are continually active due to, fluid movement, as was evidenced by the hydrothermal manifestation of the Humazo in Moreover, new studies provide evidence that the Cerro Domuyo is experiencing and important inflation Lundgren et al. Deep volcano-tectonic events are probably related to the inflation of the Cerro Domuyo by a magmatic body. Some theories hold it that in the 19th century the Afro-Argentine population declined sharply due to several factors, such as the Argentine War of Independence c.
During his term, Sarmiento instituted highly oppressive and deadly policies to eradicate Black people. He segregated the Black community. This became a death sentence when cholera and yellow-fever outbreaks ravaged this community with no adequate measures to prevent or treat the illnesses. As part of the process of conquest , the economic regimes of the European colonies in the Americas developed various forms of forced labor exploitation of the indigenous peoples. However, the relatively low population density of some of the South American territories, resistance by some aboriginal groups to acculturation , and especially the high rate of mortality caused by the diseases introduced by Europeans caused the decline of the native population.
This led the Spaniards to supplement aboriginal manpower with slaves from sub-Saharan Africa. Well into the 19th century, mining and agriculture accounted for the bulk of economic activity in the Americas. African slave labor held the advantage of having already been exposed to European diseases through geographical proximity, and African laborers readily adapted to the tropical climate of the colonies. In the case of Argentina, the influx of African slaves began in the colonies of the Rio de la Plata in Slave traders kidnapped Africans, who were then sold and shipped from West Africa to the Americas and the Caribbean.
Trafficking flourished through the port of Buenos Aires when the city allowed English traders to import slaves through it. To provide slaves to the East Indies, the Spanish crown granted contracts known as Asientos to various companies from other countries, mainly Portuguese, English, Dutch and French. The last Asiento was drawn up with the Royal Society of the Philippines in Until the ban, African slaves were measured and then branded. Before the 16th century slaves had arrived in relatively small numbers from the Cape Verde islands.
Thereafter the majority of Africans brought to Argentina were from ethnic groups speaking Bantu languages , from the territories now comprising Angola , the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Republic of the Congo. Relatively few Yoruba and Ewe were taken to Argentina; larger numbers of these groups were taken to Brazil [ citation needed ].
The slaves were forced to work in agriculture, livestock, domestic work and to a lesser extent crafts. In urban areas, many slaves made handicrafts for sale, while revenues went to their masters. The Buenos Aires neighborhood of San Telmo and Monserrat housed a large quantity of slaves, although most were sent to the interior provinces. An important part of the African population also inhabited other provinces. Although most of the gauchos were mestizos of mixed indigenous and Spanish ancestry , some were also of African ancestry.
In the city of Buenos Aires had 15, Europeans, indigenous and cholos mestizos , and 6, Africans and mulattoes, while in there were 22, whites, 9, Africans and mulattoes, and only indigenous and cholos. The area most densely populated by Africans was located in the neighborhood of Monserrat, also known as Barrio del Tambor Drumtown , just a few blocks from the Congressional Palace.
Slaves would group themselves in societies they called nations, some of which were Conga, Cabunda, African Argentine, Mozambique, etc. The commonalities among the meeting places of the nations included artificially flattened and sanded opened spaces for dancing; others were closed in with interior free space. In some cases the rooms were carpeted, and curtained, having been provided these items by the slave owner. The nation had its king and queen, previously chosen by democratic election, and a throne was erected where the flag of a particular nation was displayed.
Every nation had a flag. The headquarters was the site of social gatherings and dances.
Often the Afro-Argentine societies centered around the barrios , such as the del Mondongo nation or the del Tambor society. The Mondongo nation was one of the most important in Buenos Aires and was composed of 16 blocks in the barrio of Monserrat. Its name derived from the large quantity of tripe mondongo consumed by its members. The name Tambor was quite common in many towns, as the drum was the favored African instrument for dances and songs. Sometimes slaves were purchased individually from abroad through an agent.
For example, a letter sent from Rio de Janeiro says: [ citation needed ]. I will put on record that I have received the five hundred peso price. Greetings to you. Despite widespread slavery, testimonies of the time argued that in Buenos Aires and in Montevideo slaves were treated with less cruelty than elsewhere. However, Wilde goes onto acknowledge that: [ citation needed ]. Testimony regarding the treatment of Argentine slaves in contrast to that of other European colonies is most likely that of foreigners.
For example, Alexander Gillespie, skipper of the British army during the British invasion of , wrote in his memoirs that he was surprised how well African slaves were treated as opposed to those enslaved by British planters in the Caribbean, and in Guyana. He goes on to state: [ citation needed ].
Every morning before they were to leave to Mass, they congregated in a black circle on the floor, young and old, giving them work of needle and fabric, each according to their abilities. Everyone seemed jovial and I have no doubt that the reprimand also entered the circle. Before and after lunch and dinner in one of the latter was presented to ask for blessings and give thanks, what we were taught to regard as prominent duties and always complied with solemnity.
Afro-Argentines believed that the British expedition came mainly to give them their independence , but the British general, William Carr Beresford , had no sympathy with this movement. Following the defeat of the British, the Cabildo administrative council of Buenos Aires declared its main objective was to "see how to banish slavery from our soil. Bernardino Rivadavia , also of African descent, was one of the objectors.
Many blacks were part of militias and irregular troops that eventually became part of the Argentine Army , but always in segregated squadrons. Black slaves could, however, ask to be sold and even find a buyer if they were unhappy with their owners.
The largest mass deaths of Afro-Argentines were during Domingo F. Sarmiento 's term as President of Argentina from to the Paraguayan War of — and the Buenos Aires yellow fever epidemic. After the abolition of slavery, many Afro-Argentines lived in miserable conditions and faced widespread discrimination. Universities did not admit blacks until Afro-Argentines began to publish newspapers and to organize for their rights. One paper, The Unionist , published in a statement of equal rights and justice for all people regardless of skin color was published.
