History of North Africa

ROM AFRICA TO THE AMERICAS In the 360 years between 1500 and the end of the slave trade in the 1860s, at least 12 million Africans were forcibly taken to the Americas - then known as the "New World" to European settlers. This largest forced migration in human history relocated some 50 ethnic and linguistic groups. Only a small portion of the enslaved - less than half a million - were sent to North America. The majority went to South America and the Caribbean. In the mid-1600s, Africans outnumbered

It was essentially the largest forced migration in history framed by both free and unfree migrations with labor in an Atlantic economy that linked Europe, Africa, and the Americas (Gjerde 37). First, there was the transatlantic slave trade that transported millions of Africans to the Americas (Lockard 378). The inter-regional slave trade describes the next

demonstrate that authorship is dominated by sources based outside Africa, with less than a fifth of authors in the dataset coming from institutions on the continent. The fact that for the last three decades such a substantial proportion of texts from these elite publications have come from authors outside of Africa is important for understanding the history of African Studies. It means that it has been predominantly European and North American producers of knowledge who have selected the objects of

The history of Immigration has been around since the 19th century, in between the 1880’s and 1920. From only between that time line our population has increased substantially. The U.S is the most common country to migrate to, making the U.S multicultural. There are immigrants who may have an issue within their country or economy, leading them to another country for their own sake. Other immigrants may also be migrating to other countries to escape poverty and better their wealth or life. Immigrants

While looking over the Smithsonian’s timeline of Africa , there were a few major events that spoke to me in comparison to how South America’s religion has grown to what it is today. This article gave me genuine insight into how the slave trade played an extreme part in Africa’s religious systems. While the slave trade is sort of a taboo topic, many people don’t know that the slave trade actually began in the 1500’s which I found intriguing. Just the fact that so little amounts of Americans believe

“In time, we shall be in a position to bestow on Africa the greatest possible gift - a more human face.”—Steve Biko. The continent that the rest of the world looks down upon is struggling for a different reason than you may think. Though the white-washed, western world often believes Africa to be a land of inferior civilizations, inferior people, or inferior culture, all of these small civilizations that have spanned the continent for thousands of years cannot be blamed for any economic disadvantages

Culture and Cosmetology Anything that exists today has its history and its origin, including Cosmetology. Cosmetology is a professional skill developed by the study of hair, skin, nails, and makeup. Its history traces back to Africa during the B.C. era. The use of organic products during that time period influenced their culture, religion, and customs. This development also improved the way they culturally arranged themselves. Their creative skills and beliefs turned cosmetology to a form of art

West African Kingdoms It is generally accepted by scholars and scientists today that Africa is the original home of man. One of the most tragic misconceptions of historical thought has been the belief that Black Africa had no history before European colonization. Whites foster the image of Africa as a barbarous and savage continent torn by tribal warfare for centuries. It was a common assumption of nineteenth-century European and American Whites - promoted by the deliberate cultivation of pseudoscientific

This map shows that the major slave trading nations were located in North Africa, Europe with Spain and England as the major countries, the Arabian Peninsula with Mecca, Shihr and Aden as the greater ones, and the Ottoman Empire. These slave traders begin their journey from Europe to Africa to exchange goods for slaves. Then they crossed the Atlantic to the cost of South America, the East cost of North America and Central America. This was the notorious Middle Passage. Slave labor helped produce
