This Companion provides the essential background to the defining fate
of the African diaspora in the Americas and the Caribbean from the
15th to the 20th centuries. Central to the book are detailed
chronologies on the development and decline of the slave trade,
slavery in colonial North and South America, the Caribbean and the
United States, movements for emancipation, and the progress of black
civil rights. Separate sections look at the long-running resistance
against slavery and the black civil rights movements in the Americas
and the Caribbean, with a comparative chronology of apartheid in South
Africa. Supported by biographies of over 100 key individuals and a
full glossary providing definitions of crucial terms, expressions,
ideas and events, this is required reading for anyone interested in
the historical experience of slavery.
