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. 606 $aAfrican diaspora 606 $aBlack people$zCanada$xSocial conditions 606 $aAfrican Americans$xSocial conditions 606 $aBlack people$xRace identity$zCanada 606 $aAfrican Americans$xRace identity 607 $aCanada$xRace relations 607 $aUnited States$xRace relations 615 0$aAfrican diaspora. 615 0$aBlack people$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aBlack people$xRace identity 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xRace identity. 676 $a305.896/073 701 $aHenry$b Norah F$g(Norah Fox)$01801587 701 $aDarden$b Joe T$0286792 701 $aFrazier$b John W$0269409 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910969537003321 996 $aThe African diaspora in the U.S. and Canada at the dawn of the 21st century$94346938 997 $aUNINA
