Afro-Diaspora

The Afro-Diaspora refers to the global communities descended from Africans who were forcibly or voluntarily moved from Africa over centuries, especially through the transatlantic slave trade. This diaspora has led to a rich mixture of cultures, languages, religions, and histories across the Americas, Europe, the Caribbean, and other regions. It highlights shared experiences of resilience, resistance, and identity among people of African heritage worldwide. The term emphasizes the interconnectedness and cultural contributions of people of African descent outside Africa, shaping diverse societies and fostering a sense of solidarity and cultural preservation.
