This text is a Portuguese translation of the first chapter of the work El mar de los deseos: El Caribe afroandaluz, historia y contrapunto by the Mexican historian Antonio García de León, published by the Fondo de Cultura Económica do México. The translated chapter is entitled, in the original work, “The Sea of ​​Encounters, an American Mediterranean”. In our translation the title chosen has been “History and counterpoint of the Afro-Andalusian Caribbean”. This modification is justified for several reasons, one of them has been to give centrality to the concept of History since this chapter is a historical approach. Another reason has been to draw with this translation, a miniature of the Afro-Andalusian Caribbean universe that Antonio García de León presents in his work. The complete work as well this first part try to draw a new horizon of reflection on the Caribbean that collects and incorporates not only the experience of Africa, but also that of southern Europe, in this case Andalusia and the territories conquered by Castile in the south of the peninsula as a prelude to the world to be formed in the Caribbean.
