Incumbent President Alberto Fujimori was re-elected for a third term with almost three-quarters of the vote.

It borders the district of Chorrillos on the east; the Pacific Ocean on the southwest; LurĂn on the southeast; Villa MarĂa del Triunfo on the east and San Juan de Miraflores on the north. History Villa El Salvador began in 1971 as a squatted pueblo joven (or shanty town) in the vast, empty sand flats to the south of Lima because of the urgent housing needs of immigrant families who had left the sierra of central Peru. A land invasion quickly created a town of 25,000 people. By 2008, it had grown to 350,000 people. Villa El Salvador evolved into a huge urban zone, largely self-organizing, for which it won some fame. Largely through the efforts of its inhabitants, the neighborhood was supplied with electricity, water, and sewerage. Villa El Salvador served as the home base for the activist MarĂa Elena Moyano, who helped organize the ''FederaciĂłn Popular de Mujeres de V ...

Black Peruvians
Black Peruvians or Afro-Peruvians are Peruvian of mostly or partially African descent. They mostly descend from enslaved Africans brought to Peru after the arrival of the conquistadors. Early history The first Africans arrived with the conquerors in 1521, mostly as slaves, and some returned with colonists to settle in 1525. Between 1529 and 1537, when Francisco Pizarro was granted permits to import 363 slaves to colonial Peru, a large group of Africans were imported to do labor for public construction, building bridges and road systems. They also fought alongside the conquistadors as soldiers and worked as personal servants and bodyguards. In 1533, Afro-Peruvian slaves accompanied Spaniards in the conquest of Cuzco. Two types of black slaves were forced to travel to Peru. Those born in Africa were commonly referred to as '' negros bozales'' ("untamed blacks"), which was also used in a derogatory sense. These slaves could have been directly shipped from west or southwest Africa ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
