It has been approximately four centuries since the first Africans set foot in North America, and although it is impossible for any text to capture the complete Black experience on the continent, the persistent legacy of Black inequality and the winds of dramatic change are inseparable parts of the current African Diaspora experience. In addition to comparing and contrasting the experiences and geographic patterns of the African Diaspora in the United States and Canada, the book also explores important distinctions between the experiences of African Americans and those of more recent African and Afro-Caribbean immigrants.African diasporaBlack peopleCanadaSocial conditionsAfrican AmericansSocial conditionsBlack peopleRace identityCanadaAfrican AmericansRace identityCanadaRace relationsUnited StatesRace relationsAfrican diaspora.Black peopleSocial conditions.African AmericansSocial conditions.Black peopleRace identityAfrican AmericansRace identity.305.896/073Henry Norah F(Norah Fox)1801587Darden Joe T286792Frazier John W269409MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910969537003321The African diaspora in the U.S. and Canada at the dawn of the 21st century4346938UNINA
