The Global African Diaspora

The Global African Diaspora refers to the worldwide spread of people of African descent due to historical migration, primarily through the transatlantic slave trade, colonization, and contemporary migration. This population has established vibrant communities across the Americas, Europe, the Caribbean, and beyond. It connects shared cultural heritage, history, and experiences of resilience despite centuries of displacement, discrimination, and struggle. The diaspora influences global culture, politics, and economies, fostering a sense of identity and solidarity among people of African ancestry worldwide.
