Yemanja Ceremony - Montevideo

Yemanja ceremony in Montevideo. Every year on February 2, the beaches of Uruguay are transformed into gigantic open-air temples. Here, on February 2, 2025, in Montevideo's Playa Ramirez, purification sessions and relatives multiply on the sand, and the faithful make their offerings by wading into waist-deep water. The cult of Yemanja was practised by black slaves, but masked by Christian celebrations, which is why the deity is now represented as a virgin. Photo by Duffour P/ANDBZ/ABACAPRESS.COM

(InXizang)CHINA-XIZANG-FORMER SERF-NEW LIFE-DRAKPA WANGDEN (CN)

(240330) -- LHASA, March 30, 2024 (Xinhua) -- This photo taken on March 11, 2024 shows the ID card of Drakpa Wangden. Born in 1944, Drakpa Wangden lives now in Doilungdeqen District of Lhasa, southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region. Before the democratic reform, Drakpa Wangden and his family were serfs, working on manors affiliated with two monasteries in present-day Lhasa. For his family, each spring meant borrowing seeds from their masters, however, they could collect nothing during the autumn harvest. At that time, the sustenance of Drakpa Wangden's family of nine was a meager bowl of tsampa, a traditional Tibetan staple made from barley flour, no larger than the palm of a child's hand. In March 1959, people in Xizang launched a democratic reform that ended the region's feudal serfdom and Drakpa Wangden's family was freed along with about a million serfs. Under the systems of the people's congresses and regional ethnic autonomy that were put in place after the reform, former serfs and slaves w

Slaves’ lives uncovered at Pompeii villa - Italy

The furnishings of a room assigned to slaves have been found in the Roman villa of Civita Giuliana, about 600 metres from the walls of ancient Pompeii, Italy on August 2023. The lives of the slaves who kept the Ancient Roman rich in their often opulent settings in Pompeii have been revealed by a fresh dig. It looks like a photograph which denounces a situation of precariousness and subordination said the Italian culture ministry. However, it is an image of almost 2000 years ago, made with the cast technique, existing only in and around Pompeii. Materials such as furniture and fabrics, as well as the bodies of victims of the eruption of 79 AD, were covered by the pyroclastic cloud, which then became solid ground while the decomposed organic matter left a void in the ground: an imprint which, filled with plaster, has revealed its original form. What has now emerged suggests a precise hierarchy within the servitude. While one of the two beds found in recent weeks is extremely simple and without a mattress the ot
