Afro-Caribbean
West Indian people with African ancestors. Afro-Caribbeans are the descendants of West Africans captured and enslaved in trade from African procurers. European slave traders then shipped them to the West Indies to English, French, Dutch, Spanish, and Portuguese colonies founded from the 16th century. Since World War II many Afro-Caribbeans have migrated to North America and to Europe, especially to the USA, the UK, and the Netherlands.
