520 1 $a"Enslaved Africans were brought to the Americas from many places, but a large majority came from relatively few ethnic groups. Drawing on a wide range of primary and secondary materials in four languages and on a lifetime of study of slave groups in the New World, Gwendolyn Midlo Hall explores the persistence of African ethnic identity among the enslaved in North America, the Caribbean, and South America over four hundred years of the Atlantic slave trade." "Hall investigates such issues as who profited from the Atlantic slave trade, how Africans were defined and named by slave traders, and how the enslaved identified themselves. She traces the linguistic, economic, and cultural ties shared by large numbers of enslaved Africans, showing that despite all the fragmentation of the diaspora many ethnic groups retained enough cohesion to communicate and transmit elements of their shared cultures."--BOOK JACKET.
