Outline of African diaspora

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to African diaspora:

The African diaspora is the worldwide collection of communities that descended from people from Africa. The term most commonly refers to emigrants of people of African heritage but could also refer to descendants of enslaved Africans. Scholars typically identify "four circulatory phases" of this migration out of Africa.

The phrase African diaspora gradually entered common usage at the turn of the 21st century. The term diaspora originates from the Greek word διασπορά (diaspora, "scattering") which gained popularity in English in reference to the Jewish diaspora before being more broadly applied to other populations. Less commonly, the term has been used in scholarship to refer to more recent emigration from Africa.
