The dispersion of African culture & religion

This is an excerpt from the paper...

The dispersion of African culture and religion has occurred as a result of both the internal and external migration of people and culture from Africa to many other countries around the globe. The external migration has happened largely as a result of trade, slavery and colonization. This external exodus continues as part of what has become the ôglobal cultureö of the twenty-first century as well as due to factors associated with economics, political turmoil/reform and repression, and the need to unite family elements that have become separated as a result of this activity (The African diaspora, 2002).

There is no common point of origin for this dispersion and as such, persons of African decent, fortunately or unfortunately depending upon your perspective, do not share any type of centralized historical connection as would be the case of the Diaspora of European Jews to Israel following the close of World War II. It does not require one to spend much time reading or viewing any form of media to conclude that discrimination still remains the biggest problem of this centuryùas it was in the last. While this writer would prefer to focus on discrimination as a function of color, other variables such as religion and ethnicity remain dominant factors as well.

The advent and widespread adoption of the Internet has brought so much more information to the forefront of our attention. It is this technology vehicle that has truly shrank the world into a very small community. Thus it is the complexity of the Diaspora and the associated experiences that not only distinguish culture but serves as well to unite them (The African diaspora, 2002). Los Angeles represents one of the largest racial, cultural, and religious melting pots in the world. People of color (black, brown, and yellow) play a very dominant role in the society and culture of this area. It is hard to gauge, from a quantitative perspective, the ôimpactö of African Diaspora arts and religion within the multicultural communities of Los Angeles. Certainly there is much attention given to it within the extended confines of the community. There are opportunities for those of non-African descent to observe dance events, food, art and the culture associated with the African Diaspora. One needs to only go to the Internet and perform a simple search to identify literal
