The blog explores the history of African descendants through their forced migrations, communities which were formed throughout the diaspora, and alliances formed throughout slavery, the trade, colonial times, revolutions, and emancipation (between people of color).
From the blog: "Atlantic African Diaspora history intersects with Atlantic and national histories of empire and the early modern world. An interdisciplinary project, work on the Atlantic African Diaspora supports and is supported by research on African, Africana/African-American, Latin American, and Native/indigenous histories; work on women, gender, and sexuality studies; and feminist, post-colonial, and race theory."
