While the rise and abolition of slavery and ongoing race relations
are central themes of the history of the United States, the African
diaspora actually had a far greater impact on Latin and Central
America. More than ten times as many Africans came to Spanish and
Portuguese America as the United States.
In this, the first history of the African diaspora in Latin America
from emancipation to the present, George Reid Andrews deftly
synthesizes the history of people of African descent in every Latin
American country from Mexico and the Caribbean to Argentina. He
examines how African peooples and their descendants made their way
from slavery to freedom and how they helped shape and responded to
political, economic, and cultural changes in their societies.
Individually and collectively they pursued the goals of freedom,
equality, and citizenship through military service, political
parties, civic organizations, labor unions, religious activity, and
other avenues.
Spanning two centuries, this tour de force should be read by anyone
interested in Latin American history, the history of slavery, and
the African diaspora, as well as the future of Latin America.
