Patrick Manning charts a history of African migration that refuses to divide the diaspora into the experiences of separate regions and nations. Taking the African continent as a whole, Manning follows the multiple routes that brought Africans and people of African descent into contact with one another and with Europe, Asia, and the Americas. His six-hundred-year history shows that rather than isolating blacks from each other, the waters of the Atlantic Ocean, the Mediterranean Sea, and the Indian Ocean fueled dynamic interactions between black communities and cultures, and that these patterns echoed a number of connected diasporas concurrently taking shaping across the globe. In rescuing this story from the margins, Manning also makes clear that black migration is inextricably bound to the rise of modernity, especially with regard to the processes of industrialization and urbanization.

"A masterful survey of the history of the African diaspora that skillfully interweaves multiple themes across six centuries and several continents in crisp and lucid prose. This is a superb book that fills a void in the literature as well as a pressing need in the classroom." -- Penny von Eschen, University of Michigan
