Rethinking the African Diaspora

The Making of a Black Atlantic World in the Bight of Benin and Brazil
Herausgeber: Bay, Edna G.; Mann, Kristin

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

As a result of new research, we can now paint a more complex picture of peoples and cultures in the south Atlantic, from the earliest period of the slave trade up to the present. The nine papers in this volume indicate that a dynamic and continuous movement of peoples east as well as west across the Atlantic forged diverse and vibrant re-inventions and re-interpretations of the rich mix of cultures represented by Africans and peoples of African descent on both continents.
