This book establishes Central Africa as the origin of most Africans
brought to English and Dutch American colonies in North America,
the Caribbean, and South America in their formative period before
1660. It reveals that Central Africans were frequently possessors
of an Atlantic Creole culture that included adaptation of
Christianity and elements of European language, especially names
and material culture. It places the movement of slaves and creation
of the colonies within an Atlantic historical framework, including
showing interactions among Africa, Europe, and all of the Americas.
It explores the development of attitudes toward race, slavery, and
freedom as they developed in the colonies of England and the
Netherlands, and it revises earlier discussions on these issues.
The book suggests ways in which this generation of Africans helped
lay the foundations for subsequent development of African-American
culture in all the colonies of these countries.
