Ronald Segal explores the African, or as he calls it, "the black diaspora," and attempts to provide with a comprehensive narrative tracing African and African-American political, economic, and cultural history over the past five centuries.This is a project of synthesis, and, as such, Segal draws upon the research of other scholars in an attempt to create one grand narrative of the diaspora.Thus, while providing no new historical data, The Black Diaspora is useful for the attention it brings to the basic link between peoples of African descent, slavery, and the development of the modern world.The experiences of African peoples is put into the context of global history.
