Passage

“The African diaspora encompasses the communities throughout the world that are descended from the historic movement of peoples from Africa — movement that was not only forced through the violence of the slave trade, but also voluntary through trade, pilgrimage, and exploration across centuries. To study the diaspora is to study not a single people, but a world of peoples connected by origin, history, and the ongoing work of identity-making.”

— Adapted from a scholarly description of the African diaspora concept, 2001
