Post/Colonialism and the Pursuit of Freedom in the Black Atlantic
is an interdisciplinary collection of essays of wide historical and
geographic scope which engages the legacy of diaspora, colonialism
and slavery. The contributors explore the confrontation between
Africa's forced migrants and their unwelcoming new environments, in
order to highlight the unique individual experiences of survival
and assimilation that characterized Atlantic slavery. As they focus
on the African or Afro-diasporan populations under study, the
chapters gauge the degree to which formal independence, coming out
of a variety of practices of opposition and resistance, lasting
centuries in some cases, has translated into freedom, security, and
a "good life." By foregrounding Hispanophone, Lusophone, and
Francophone African and Afro-descendant concerns, over and against
an often Anglo-centric focus in the field, the book brings a more
representative approach to the area of diaspora or Black Atlantic
studies, offering a more complete appreciation of Black Atlantic
cultural production across history and across linguistic barriers.
