Central Africans Atlantic Creoles and the Foundation of the Americas 1585 1660 by Linda M. Heywood Book PDF Summary
This book establishes Central Africa as the origin of most Africans brought to English and Dutch American colonies in North America, the Caribbean, and South America before 1660. It reveals that Central Africans were frequently possessors of an Atlantic Creole culture and places the movement of slaves and creation of the colonies within an Atlantic historical framework.
