Abstract "A multi-disciplinary conversation about the origin and outcome of the modern black diaspora in its Iberian and Latin American dimensions"-- Provided by publisher.
Abstract Trajectories of Empire extends from the beginning of the Iberian expansion of the mid-fifteenth century, through colonialism and slavery, and into the twentieth and twenty-first centuries in Latin American republics. Its point of departure is the question of empire and its aftermath as reflected in the lives of contemporary Latin Americans of African descent and of their ancestors in the historical processes of Iberian colonial expansion, colonization, and the Atlantic slave trade--back cover.
