Understanding the African Diaspora offers a clear and engaging introduction to the global movements, histories, and cultural experiences of African and African-descended peoples, from ancient times to the present.

The book traces the wide-reaching impact of the African diaspora, shaped by both forced and voluntary migrations, including the transatlantic slave trade, colonialism, and more recent waves of movement. It explores how African-descended communities have contributed to and reshaped societies across the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, while maintaining enduring ties to the African continent. Each chapter presents key historical developments, cultural expressions, and political struggles, supported by maps, timelines, and infographics that help bring complex topics into focus. Students are introduced to major debates in the field and regional case studies that highlight the diversity and resilience of African diasporic life.

Designed especially for courses in African Diaspora Studies, this textbook is also well-suited for African and African American history and related programmes. Its accessible structure and interdisciplinary approach make it ideal for undergraduate students, educators, and general readers seeking a strong foundation in one of the most significant and far-reaching movements in global history.
