Encyclopedia of the African Diaspora
Origins, Experiences, and Culture
Carole Boyce Davies, Editor
The authoritative source for information on the people, places, and events of the African Diaspora, spanning five continents and five centuries.
In the last 500 years, African people have continuously established communities across the globe. Their adaptations to new cultures and the changes they brought about in their new lands—political, economic, and cultural—are the subject of this exhaustive encyclopedia.
The field of African Diaspora studies is rapidly growing. Until now there was no single, authoritative source for information on this broad, complex discipline. Drawing on the work of over 300 scholars, this encyclopedia fills that void. Now the researcher, from high school level up, can go to a single reference for information on the historical, political, economic, and cultural relations between people of African descent and the rest of the world community.
Five hundred years of relocation and dislocation, of assimilation and separation have produced a rich tapestry of history and culture into which are woven people, places, and events. This authoritative, accessible work picks out the strands of the tapestry, telling the story of diverse peoples, separated by time and distance, but retaining a commonality of origin and experience. Organized in A–Z sections covering global topics, country of origin, and destination country, the work is designed for easy use by all.
Features
• More than 500 A–Z entries
• Contributions from hundreds of leading scholars
• Maps showing key locations in the African Diaspora
Highlights
• A groundbreaking work in an emerging field covering political, economic, and cultural relations between people of African descent and the world community
• The only single-source collection of the most current scholarship on all aspects of the African Diaspora
• Author and subject indexes, cross-referencing, and A–Z entries by major topic all provide easy access to information
• The global scope contrasts to widely available treatments of the experience of Africans in the Americas
Carole Boyce Davies is professor of African Diaspora Studies at Florida International University in Miami, FL.
