A utopia da pequena África

In recent decades, large urbanistic interventions in central districts and "degraded" ports in major cities have sought to include such areas in an international logic of attraction competition for the selection of the city capital in mega events, like the World Cup and the Olympic Games. However, not everything can be ideologically constructed or economically potentiated. When it comes to the history of people, objects and spaces, different and destabilizing memories, such as the "Pequena África" (Little Africa), in the port region, are always likely to be busy, bringing out versions "exhibited" in the city.
