Assignment:

I need to write a discussion post on these questions below.

• Discuss the idea of considering Africa and its history separate and apart from a Eurocentric lens. What challenges does this pose for scholars of Africa, especially considering the lack of written histories before the modern period? What are some ways that Africa was connected to Eurasia before the 15th century?
• Explain the challenges presented by beginning African American history with the Atlantic slave trade. How did the Atlantic slave trade differ from slavery of the past, both inside and outside of Africa? What, if anything, may be inferred by tracing one's beginnings to slavery?
• How was the Atlantic slave trade connected to the rise and spread of capitalism during the Industrial Revolution? What were the connections between slavery and capitalism in the Americas specifically? How did the Atlantic slave trade contribute to the creation of the modern world?
• How did African American women experience slavery? In other words, how did slavery affect men and women differently?
• Discuss the various forms of African American resistance to slavery. How did these overlap with other liberatory labor movements?
• Define the term African Diaspora and discuss how the African Diaspora evolved in the Americas.
