Video - Echoes of Loss: Tracing the African Tribes Displaced by the Atlantic Slave Trade
Major African tribes taken away during the Atlantic Slave Trade Part 4. The Shona people, from modern-day Zimbabwe and Mozambique, suffered greatly as they were taken from their homelands and transported to the Americas. They faced a life of hardship and displacement, far from their cultural roots. The Fulani people, originating from several countries in West Africa, including Senegal, Nigeria, and Guinea, were another group affected by the slave trade. They were taken to the Americas, particularly the United States and Brazil, with their unique cultural heritage and traditions following them. The Hausa people, primarily from Nigeria and Niger, endured forced displacement as they were shipped to places such as Brazil and the United States. Their rich history and traditions made the journey across the Atlantic with them. The Swahili people, from the coastal regions of East Africa, faced displacement and exploitation. Many were taken to the Arabian Peninsula, India, and beyond, where they endured forced labor and separation from their homelands. The Herero and Nama peoples, from modern-day Namibia, experienced profound suffering during the slave trade. Many were taken from their lands and transported to other parts of the world, including Brazil and the Caribbean.
