The African Americas insists on the transcendent interconnectedness of histories, stories, and cultural and disciplinary expression, and the centrality of the Middle Passage in connecting Harlem and Brooklyn to Havana, Kingston, and Rio de Janeiro. The collection's framework urges the reader to consider the Americas as a locus of predominantly African encounters that contain and regulate “white” history, art, and cultural activity.
