The economy of European settlements in the Americas depended heavily on the importation of enslaved people from Africa. Without their free labor, the Americas would quite likely have not prospered as it did. As Edouard Glissant writes, one can consider the African slave arriving in the Americas as a "naked migrant" - someone who came with nothing and had to create his life anew. European immigrants, even those who were fleeing prosecution or poverty, came because they wanted to. Even if they felt they had very little choice in the matter, there was a hope for a new life and a connection to the old through communities that shared the same language and cultural traditions. The enslaved people who were brought from Africa came under very different and more difficult conditions. We have them to thank, however, for their resistance and resilience. Much of American culture, from the banjo to jazz, from agricultural innovations to culinary traditions, has its roots in the contributions of Africans who came unwillingly to the Americas.
