Spain: Clandestine railway - A guide for the freedom of movement
Over a century ago hundreds, even thousands, of black men and women who lived under the slave regime of the southern states of the United States of America undertook an uncertain journey to the north, to Canada, far from the plantation economy and its slave system to their freedom. Hundreds of black and white men and women organised to help in this journey, creating what became known as ’the Underground Railroad’.
Today, the land of freedom which Canada then represented for those men and women no longer exists; nevertheless thousands of men and women undertake an even more uncertain journey to the North, some leaving behind forms of oppression and exploitation, some simply in search of a dream or a better life. Dozens of men and women want to support them in their journey, to which we all have a right: this guide is one way to offer that support.
In this guide you will find information to help you get to know and get around various cities in the Spanish State (Seville, Málaga, Madrid and Barcelona), a list of resources for basic necessities (for those who arrive without anything) and the legal information needed to get residency documents and with them the recognition of certain rights.
