African Diaspora
Over a period of almost four centuries, four million Africans were transported to North America and the Caribbean Islands in the Atlantic slave trade. Captured from their homeland and separated from their tribes and families they were enslaved in a new world, where all familiar customs were absent.
The African Diaspora is the story of how Africans, though scattered & dispersed, managed to retain their traditions and reform their identities in a new world. Elements of African culture such as religion, language, and folklore endured and were their links to their past lives. In the process of Americanization, Africans formed another culture known as Afro-Americans or Creoles.
