Gwendolyn Midlo Hall je americká historička, ktorá sa zameriava na históriu otroctva v Karibiku, Latinskej Amerike, Louisiane, Afrike a africkej diaspóry v Amerike. Jej výskum osvetľuje zložité a často prehliadané aspekty tejto temnej éry a jej dopady na modernú spoločnosť. Svojím hlbokým bádateľským prístupom prispieva k pochopeniu formovania rasových a sociálnych štruktúr.
The book examines the resilience of African ethnic identities among enslaved individuals in the Americas, highlighting how these identities persisted despite the brutalities of the Atlantic slave trade. Gwendolyn Midlo Hall utilizes diverse sources in multiple languages and her extensive research on slave groups to illuminate the significant cultural influences and connections that endured over four centuries. Through this exploration, the author sheds light on the complex heritage of enslaved peoples and their ongoing impact on society.
