WHAT DOES AFRICAN-CARIBBEAN MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Afro-Caribbean

Afro-Caribbeans are Caribbean people who trace their heritage to Africa in the period since Christopher Columbus's arrival in the region in 1492. Other names for the group include African-Caribbean, Afro-Antillean or Afro-West Indian. Between the 16th and 19th centuries, most Africans arrived in the Caribbean during the era of the slave trade and were enslaved in forced-labour camps known as plantations controlled by Spanish, French, British, and Dutch colonial powers. Afro-Caribbean resistance, revolutions and uprisings led to the abolition of slavery, and their involvement in subsequent campaigns for independence led to the establishment of the region's nation states. Although most Afro-Caribbean people today live in Spanish, French, and English-speaking Caribbean nations, there are also significant diaspora populations throughout the western hemisphere – notably in Britain, France, the United States, and Canada. Both the home and diaspora populations have produced a number of individuals who have had a notable influence on modern Western and African societies – from Marcus Garvey and W.E.B. Du Bois to Frantz Fanon, Colin Powell and Bob Marley.
