This 2005 book examines the global unfolding of the African
Diaspora, the migrations and dispersals of the people of Africa,
from antiquity to the modern period. Their exploits, challenges,
and struggles are discussed over a wide expanse of time in ways
that link as well as differentiate past and present circumstances.
The experiences of Africans in the Old World, in the Mediterranean
and Islamic worlds, is followed by their movement into the New,
where their experience in lands claimed by Portuguese, Spanish,
Dutch, French and English colonial powers is analyzed from
enslavement through to the Cold War. While appropriate mention is
made of persons of renown, particular attention is paid to the
everyday lives of working class people and their cultural
efflorescence. The book also attempts to explain contemporary
plights and struggles through the lens of history.
