Features of the Multiple Heritage of Africans
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 7 page paper discussing the multiple heritage of Africans. Throughout Africa and countries where Africans live, the heritage of the African people has been influenced by a great many factors due to slavery, colonization, religion and aspects of the African continent itself. Africans for years relied on a religion and lifestyle which was based on the enormity and diversity of their continent and because it was surrounded by water were relatively well protected from outside influences. During the era of colonization however, a great many Western influences came into Africa affecting the land and the people. The Africans were enslaved by Westerners, the Arab world and in many cases, members of other tribes. The Arabs introduced the religion of Islam while the Europeans introduced the religion of Christianity which were both infused into the traditional African religions. Today, Africans have a multiple, or triple heredity based on these three influences and despite the conflict which also ensued by the introduction of other factors which followed with colonization and slavery, have been successful in adapting to this multiple heredity.
