負の世界遺産　かつての黒人奴隷貿易の象徴　ゴレ島

2006/06/25 - 2006/06/25

セネガルの首都ダカールの沖合に浮かぶ島、ゴレ島。
かつての大西洋域における黒人奴隷貿易の象徴とされる島（実際には拠点としての役割は果たしていなかった）であり、その負の歴史をとどめる遺産として1978年に世界遺産にも登録されている。

島にはMaison des esclavages（奴隷の家）をはじめ、黒人奴隷の歴史を知る施設やモニュメントが残されており、もちろんこの歴史を実際に目にし何かを得るための島であることは間違いないが、同時に「観光地」としての役割も果たしており、民芸品売りや土産物屋、レストラン、ビーチ（とても狭い）、カラフルな民家、趣ある小路などツーリストに向けて整備もされている。

ダカールのアフリカ随一の大都会の喧騒とは打って変わって、ゴレ島はツーリストこそ多いものの、落ち着いて散策できる場所でもある。
アフリカの外に住む黒人たちが自分のルーツを求めてやってくる場所でもあるとのことだ。
