Diasporic Africa presents the most recent research on the
history and experiences of people of African descent outside of the
African continent. By incorporating Europe and North Africa as well
as North America, Latin America, and the Caribbean, this reader
shifts the discourse on the African diaspora away from its focus
solely on the Americas, underscoring the fact that much of the
movement of people of African descent took place in Old World
contexts. This broader view allows for a more comprehensive
approach to the study of the African diaspora.
The volume provides an overview of African diaspora studies and
features as a major concern a rigorous interrogation of "identity."
Other primary themes include contributions to western civilization,
from religion, music, and sports to agricultural production and
medicine, as well as the way in which our understanding of the
African diaspora fits into larger studies of transnational
phenomena.
