John Thornton's 'Africa And Africans In The Making Of The Atlantic World 1400-1800 / Summary
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. John Thornton's 'Africa And Africans in the Making of the Atlantic World 1400-1800' is instrumental in demonstrating the significant impact Africans had upon the Atlantic world's cultural development as a result of their trek to the Americas during the colonial period. The writer discusses how the abundance of Africans who left their homeland on account of the slave trade made a considerable mark upon how the Americas were ultimately established. It can be argued that their participation -- even though unrecognized by the Africans themselves at the time -- was contributory to the Atlantic world's overall evolvement. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
