African diaspora in the Americas

The African diaspora in the Americas (Spanish: Afroamericanos) refers to the people born in the Americas with partial, predominant, or complete sub-Saharan African ancestry. Many are descendants of persons enslaved in Africa and transferred to the Americas by Europeans, and whose ethnogenesis occurred in the Americas and were forced to work mostly in European-owned mines and plantations, between the sixteenth and nineteenth centuries.
