SynopsisThis book examines the economic impact of enslavement, including the destruction of family structures and communities, and its ongoing effects on developing Latin and African nations. When studying the history of the Transatlantic Slave Trade, you will find that for hundreds of years, millions of African people were enslaved, separated from their families, shackled with metal collards, and transported to Europe, the Americas, and the Caribbean Islands in exchange for various goods, including rum, sugar, tobacco, and free labor. There were many names for this well-orchestrated international coercion of free labor to build wealth and nations. It is also referred toas Transatlantic and Triangular Slave Trade. The process of colonization had a significant impact on Latin communities across the globe. Foreigners benefited by exploiting people of African and Afro-Latin descent, which caused great harm to these communities. Afro-Latinos' free labor was also a crucial factor in creating immense wealth to build superpower nations worldwide before the advent of the Industrial Revolution. Upon seeing the Elmira Castle in Ghana, one could easily imagine the horrific reality of enslavement and visualize what took place for hundreds of years. The book features more than 140 photographs depicting the fusion of Black and Brown cultures. It highlights how various countries have welcomed and incorporated the rich contributions of Africa into their social fabric.
