Abstract: Resumen Los dos capítulos incluidos en el presente trabajo representan un esfuerzo de síntesis de una pequeña fracción de la vasta literatura que existe sobre la esclavización de los africanos. Por ahora, estas notas cubren esencialmente dos objetivos: i) ofrecer una breve introducción a los aspectos generales que caracterizaron la esclavización europea de los africanos (capitulo 1) y, ii) ofrecer una revisión de impactos económicos e institucionales discutidos en varios trabajos relativamente recientes. Estos trabajos argumentan econométricamente que la esclavización europea de los africanos, concluida hace más de un siglo, ha tenido efectos perdurables que continúan frenando los procesos de desarrollo en una amplia región del África subsahariana (capítulo 2). Abstract The two chapters included in this draft seek to offer a synthesis review of a small fraction of a vast literature on the enslaving of the african people. They cover two themes: i) the first discusses salient features that characterized the transatlantic slave process during the four centuries that europeans practiced it and, ii) chapter 2 offers a synthesis of relatively recent economic contributions on the long-run effects of slavery processes on Africa’s development. Although European slavery ended more than a century ago, these contributions test the hypothesis that its impacts have been persistent to the point that they continue to affect Africa’s development process.
