The Black Atlantic

The Black Atlantic is a concept that explores the shared cultural, historical, and political experiences of people of African descent across the Atlantic Ocean, including Africa, the Americas, the Caribbean, and Europe. It highlights how these communities have interconnected through the transatlantic slave trade, migration, and resistance, creating a transnational identity. This perspective encourages understanding of Black history and culture not as isolated within individual countries but as part of a larger, interconnected Atlantic world shaped by shared struggles and influences.
