Movement from Africa to Americas
It is assumed that all the current black populations scattered around the world
descended from the continent of Africa. The movement of Africans to other regions
outside their continent was both voluntarily undertaken, as well as involuntarily in the
context of slavery. Much of this movement of African descents was through the Atlantic
into the New World of Americas. Nevertheless, this does not make the Europe and Asia
free from African Diasporas. However, a lot has been document about the Trans-Atlantic
movement of masses from the continent of Africa to the present day larger Americas. In
fact, in the Caribbean Islands alone, about 90% of the population there is composed of
direct descendants of African Slaves (Palmer, 2000).
The movement from Africa to America started way back in 15 century. This is the
period when Africans were captured from the West and Central African regions and
brought into the Americas as slaves. Although this mass transfer of humans across the sea
biggest yet in our human race history, Africans were transacted as slaves as early as 8th
century during the Arab Slave Trade. Notably, the captured Africans were mostly taken
into slavery as laborers in big plantations scattered across the whole region of Americas.
To this date, it can be seen that most of the present day African Diaspora populated
countries have agri-business based economy. The slave trade across the Atlantic Ocean,
commonly known as the Atlantic Slave Trade, was conducted mostly by the European
powers and traders from Brazil and other established colonies.

The Middle Passage
This was a stage in the triangular trade which saw millions of Africans being
shipped into the Americas as part of the trade deals. Ships would dock along the West
African coast with manufactured goods, while the goods would be transacted against the
young and energetic Africans. This category of Africans formed the best form of free
labor to the growing agri-business in the Americas. It is estimated that about 15% of the
Africans died during the voyage, while also a good number of the captured didn’t make it
to the boast. Upon their arrival, Africans slaves were received by the shores of the
Caribbean Islands. The trade would go on until the late 19 century, as the need to
recognize Africans as “humans” was gaining ground (Klein, 1978).
Most of the African Diaspora traces their ancestral roots to the West African
communities of former Senegambia, Gold Coast, Bright Biafra, and other small ethnolinguistics of west and central Africa. African Diasporas taken into the Americas as
slaves would toil the plantations for the next 3 centuries, with the business booming as
the industrial revolution gained dominance to enhance manufacturing and subsequently
increase trade.
African Diaspora desire for self-control
As populations were being moved out of Africa, so was their rights and privileges
they previously enjoyed. Working without pay, under severe conditions and brutality
sums up the terrible situation that African Diaspora found themselves into. For such
reason, recognizing their naturally granted space to live with freedom as humans, African

Diasporas would occasionally launch raids on their masters as part of efforts to liberate
themselves from the shackles of the white man. To date, most of the African Diaspora
identifies them with their mother continent of Africa. Although they have struggled to
earn their respect as human beings, the situation is much different. African Diasporas are
citizens of various countries across the world, and they have managed to exert self-rule in
some parts like Haiti. Such zeal and desire to live a freeman’s life is what drove the
unanimous call for unity among all the black populations of the world against Imperial
rule of Africa as a continent by the minority European powers (Marable, 1991).
