The Afro-Latino: A Historical Journey by Leslie K. Best

The Afro-Latino
A Historical Journey
by Leslie K. Best

For over 3 centuries, millions of African men, women, and children were deported to the Americas to build the European conquistadors' economic wealth and social foundation. Families were disperse depending on their capturers throughout the African Diaspora. The mothers, perhaps, were taken to Brazil or Peru, the children to Venezuela or Mexico, and the father may have been sent to Louisiana or Virginia. Their fate depended on the slave traders and where they decided to sell their human cargo. Those that were sent to Latin America assimilated with the British culture. Nevertheless, the impact from slavery is still being sustained even in the 21st century throughout the African Diaspora.
