This book shows how important the African role was in shaping the
Atlantic world that developed after the navigational breakthroughs
of the fifteenth century. The degree of African initiative
displayed in this period is stressed, both by African elites in
dealing with the new visitors and trading partners and, even by
African slaves in the New World. Evenly divided into sections on
Africa and Africans in the New World, this study stresses cultural
and institutional backgrounds to Africa and African slaves.
Although the book is intended to help Africanists understand how
Africans fared in the Americas, its main purpose is to give readers
familiar with Afro-American history a fuller and more dynamic
vision of Africa, so they can see the African slave as an African
and not just as a laborer.
