Description

Whilst the upward thrust and abolition of slavery and ongoing race relations are central themes of the history of america, the African diaspora in truth had a far greater affect on Latin and Central The united states. More than ten times as many Africans came to Spanish and Portuguese The united states as america.

In this, the first history of the African diaspora in Latin The united states from emancipation to the present, George Reid Andrews deftly synthesizes the history of people of African descent in each and every Latin American country from Mexico and the Caribbean to Argentina. He examines how African peooples and their descendants made their way from slavery to freedom and how they helped shape and responded to political, economic, and cultural changes in their societies. Individually and collectively they pursued the goals of freedom, equality, and citizenship through military service, political parties, civic organizations, labor unions, religious activity, and other avenues.

Spanning two centuries, this tour de force must be read by anyone interested in Latin American history, the history of slavery, and the African diaspora, in addition to the way forward for Latin The united states.
