Europeans came to the Caribbean primarily during the Age of Exploration in the late 15th century, driven by the search for new trade routes and territories. Christopher Columbus's 1492 voyage, commissioned by Spain, marked the beginning of European colonization in the region. Following Columbus, various European powers, including Spain, France, and England, established settlements and sought to exploit the islands' resources, including sugar and tobacco. This led to significant cultural exchanges, colonization, and the tragic impact of the transatlantic slave trade.
The slave narrative is a literary form which grew out of the experience of enslaved Africans in Britain and the New World. Some six thousand former slaves from North America and the Caribbean gave an account of their lives during the 18th and 19th centuries, with about 150 published as separate books or pamphlets. There are also slave narratives written by white Americans or Europeans captured and enslaved in North Africa, usually by Barbary pirates.
The Caribbean is a melting pot of cultures due to its history of colonization, slavery, and migration. Africans were forcibly brought to the region as enslaved laborers to work on plantations during the transatlantic slave trade. Chinese and Caucasians arrived through various means, including indentured servitude, immigration, and settlement, particularly after the abolition of slavery. Additionally, the Caribbean has seen waves of migration from other regions, contributing to its diverse demographic landscape.

The sugar revolution in the Caribbean led to the rapid expansion of sugar plantations, increased demand for African slave labor, and the transformation of the region's economy and society. It resulted in the displacement of indigenous populations, widespread exploitation of enslaved Africans, and a shift towards a plantation-based economy that centered around sugar production. The sugar revolution also contributed to the formation of the triangular trade between Europe, Africa, and the Caribbean, further entrenching the region's dependence on slavery and the export of sugar.
Many people in Latin America and the Caribbean have African ancestry due to the transatlantic slave trade that brought millions of Africans to the region to work on plantations and in mines. European colonizers imported enslaved Africans as a source of labor, which led to intermixing and the formation of diverse Afro-Latinx and Afro-Caribbean communities. The legacy of African culture and heritage is deeply ingrained in the region's history and contributes to its cultural diversity.
