By incorporating Europe and North Africa as well as North America, Latin America, and the Caribbean, this reader shifts the discourse on the African diaspora away from its focus solely on the Americas, underscoring the fact that much of the movement of people of African descent took place in Old World contexts. This broader view allows for a more comprehensive approach to the study of the African diaspora.The volume provides an overview of African diaspora studies and features as a major concern a rigorous interrogation of "identity." Other primary themes include contributions to western civilization, from religion, music, and sports to agricultural production and medicine, as well as the way in which our understanding of the African diaspora fits into larger studies of transnational phenomena. 606 $aAfrican diaspora$xHistory 606 $aBlack people$xHistory 610 $aAfrican. 610 $aRecent. 610 $acontinent. 610 $adescent. 610 $aexperiences. 610 $ahistory. 610 $aoutside. 610 $apeople. 610 $aresearch. 615 0$aAfrican diaspora$xHistory. 615 0$aBlack people$xHistory. 676 $a909/.0496 701 $aGomez$b Michael Angelo$f1955-$0690345 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910827573403321 996 $aDiasporic Africa$94084039 997 $aUNINA
