Migración, trabajo e identidad : canarios en Venezuela

Abstract

This work exposes around the Canary Islands, which are located in a strategic space of the Atlantic and for multiple reasons that go from the geographical to the cultural, have been a meeting place and contact. Since its conquest by the Castilians in the 15th century, this archipelago has been characterized by the diversity of the population groups that have settled or settled on its different islands. All this has shaped a complex society in which contributions from Africa, Europe and America stand out, of unequal relevance depending on the time and islands and, of course, with different consequences from the sociocultural point of view.
