Las estrategias productivas y comerciales de la Política Agrícola Común (PAC) de la Unión Europea (UE) se relacionan de forma dialéctica con el progresivo deterioro de la soberanía alimentaria de América Latina. Por medio de la PAC, la UE ha impulsado y apoyado un sistema agroalimentario insostenible que causa graves impactos económicos, sociales y ambientales en los países latinoamericanos. El mantenimiento del modelo de consumo europeo basado en la carne y otras proteínas de origen animal y el alcance de la próxima reforma de la PAC encaminada a producir menos y comprar más a bajo precio en los mercados mundiales supondrá un renovado ciclo de explotación de los recursos naturales latinoamericanos, fenómeno que conllevará la sustitución aún mayor de los cultivos de consumo humano por las materias primas de exportación, el aumento de la deforestación y la destrucción de los ecosistemas, el auge del monocultivo, el desplazamiento de los pequeños campesinos, el incremento de la pobreza rural, la agudización de la desnutrición y el hambre, el crecimiento de la inseguridad alimentaria y la pérdida de la soberanía alimentaria de los pueblos. ; The productive and commercial strategies laid down by the European Union's (EU) Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) are dialectically related to the gradual deterioration of food sovereignty in Latin America. By means of the CAP, the EU has promoted and championed an unsustainable food and agriculture system with serious economic, social and environmental drawbacks in Latin American countries. Maintaining the European consumption pattern based on meat and other animal proteins, alongside the scope of the forthcoming CAP reform –which involves producing less and buying more at lower prices in global markets– will bring about a renovated cycle of exploitation of Latin America's natural resources, which will, in turn, lead to the replacement of even more crops for human consumption with raw materials for export, the increase of deforestation and the destruction of ecosystems, the rise of monoculture, the displacement of small farmers, the increase of rural poverty, the worsening of malnutrition and hunger, the increase of food insecurity, and the loss of food sovereignty for the people.

Through a shifted and enriched approach, combining history and anthropology/sociology, this book addresses the forms of social integration and the multiple cultural hybridizations produced by slavery in the societies of Europe, Africa and America during the medieval and modern periods. Analyzing the normative contours used to define the identity of the slave, it then discusses his attempts and modalities of integration in the host societies, measuring the socialization process that may have resulted. Questioning the social mechanisms of the ancient societies that presided over the mixing of populations, as attested by the sources, is one of the areas that historians in this field (Atlantic societies, Maghreb) are most interested in. Among their main projects is that of deconstructing illusions of "racial" and cultural homogeneity in contemporary societies. A work on the acculturation and agency capacity of slaves, on the capacity of enslaved persons (not only freed) to exist as actors in the social sphere, particularly in the Iberian peninsula and the Mediterranean area, is the aim of this work. By proposing a history of Mediterranean brewing, it challenges preconceived ideas about cultural divisions and civilizational confinements.
