Inhaltsangabe

This groundbreaking work uncovers a largely overlooked chapter of Creole heritage rooted not in the Atlantic, but in the vast, ancient trade networks of the Indian Ocean. For over 1,400 years, African and Asian peoples have intertwined through migration, trade, and the Arab slave trade to create vibrant, multigenerationally mixed Afro-Asian communities. Spanning East Africa, the Indian Ocean islands, and parts of Asia, these societies embody a rich history of cultural fusion, linguistic exchange, and resilience—yet remain marginalized in dominant historical narratives.

By tracing the diverse African and Asian ancestries behind Afro-Arab, Afro-Indian, Afro-Persian, Afro-Chinese, and other Afro-Asian identities, this book reclaims their stories from the shadows of Transatlantic-focused discourse. It offers a fresh, nuanced exploration of Creolization beyond the familiar, highlighting Afro-Asian experiences as products of centuries of global interaction predating modern globalization. Through historical, cultural, and diasporic lenses, this work invites readers to rethink mixed-race identity, belonging, and the enduring legacies of cross-continental connections.
