The heart of the diaspora domain is the cultural communities which serve at the fulcrum or the center of action exemplifying the vibrant nature and the continuities inherent in the formation of the diaspora.African diasporaBlack peopleRace identityAfricaEmigration and immigrationAfrican diaspora.Black peopleRace identity.304.8096Arthur John A.1958-1600084Takougang Joseph1703228Owusu Thomas Y(Thomas Yaw),1961-1703229MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910822122703321Africans in global migration4088272UNINA
