Africans and their descendants constituted the majority of the population of the modern Americas for the first three hundred years of their five centuries of existence. Yet their fundamental roles in the creation and definition of the new societies of the 'new world,' and their significance in the development of the Atlantic world, have not been acknowledged. This multidisciplinary volume highlights the African presence throughout the Americas, and African and African Diasporan contributions to the material and cultural life of all of the Americas, and of all Americans. It includes articles from leading scholars, and from cultural leaders from both wellknown and littleknown African Diasporan communities. Privileging, although not limiting itself to, African Diasporan voices, it offers new perspectives, data, and interpretations that challenge prevailing understandings of the Americas. Its fundamental premise is that the story of the Americas can only be accurately told by including the foundational roles played by Africans and their descendants in the Americas.
