Description
This pioneering book, a founding text of African Diaspora studies, continues to hold a prominent place in any bibliography of its field and remains the only general history on the people of African descent in the Spanish-speaking nations of the Western hemisphere. Rout engagingly presents the broad historical contours of the African experience in Spanish America, from enslavement, resistance, and rebellion to the crucial participation of Afro-Latin Americans in the wars of independence, and a region-by-region account of their varied treatment in the newly-founded republics from the nineteenth century to the modern era.

Media Reviews
A masterly survey - vigorous in its views, rigorous in its scholarship... a classic.... This is decidedly a book with a message, but it is also an excellent book, and one that has been long needed. - Times Literary Supplement; ""... the most complete and satisfying account of Spanish American black history available.... Those of us teaching black history must thank Rout for a most valuable classroom text, and those of us working on the history of blacks in America will welcome an account that illustrates so neatly what what we know and what we do not."" - American Historical Review
