The African Diaspora

The African Diaspora refers to the spread of people of African descent around the world, primarily due to historical events such as the transatlantic slave trade. This movement led to significant African communities developing in the Americas, Europe, the Caribbean, and beyond. The diaspora has resulted in a rich tapestry of cultural exchanges, blending African traditions with local customs. It also encompasses the shared experiences of African-descended people, including issues of identity, migration, and social justice, as they navigate their heritage and the societies they inhabit.
