Selected as a 2012 Outstanding Title by AAUP University Press Books for Public and Secondary School Libraries 12.5 million Africans were shipped to the New World during the Middle Passage. While just over 11.0 million survived the arduous journey; only about 450;000 of them arrived in the United States. The rest—over ten and a half million—were taken to the Caribbean and Latin America. This astonishing fact changes our entire picture of the history of slavery in the Western hemisphere; and of its lasting cultural impact. These millions of Africans created new and vibrant cultures; magnificently compelling syntheses of various African; English; French; Portuguese; and Spanish influences.
