We all know that post-independence and even post-abolition Latin American countries received scores of immigrants from Europe to countries like Uruguay, Brazil, Argentina, and etc. Regardless of the motives- manpower or blanquiemento- they soon became a vibrant part of Latin American post-colonial society. What I am wondering is if the same event could have also been found with African immigrants? How would it be possible for free African immigrants to embark to Latin America like their European counterparts?
