AFRICAN DIASPORANS IN SWEDEN

Africans and African Diasporans have been living in Sweden since the 1300s. This briefing on that presence is the result of many personal interviews and oral histories I have listened to with people living here since my arrival in 1968. The entire history will probably never be completed or even told, hence my suggested title above. A more detailed history will one day be written. Until then, I am happy to hand these bits and pieces over to the next generation of amateur historians who can develop them in more detail. For these bits I would like to offer a very warm and sincere thanks to: Karl Andreasson, Ronald B. Antoine, Charles Campbell (Denmark), Ylva Eggehorn, Don-Franklin Desesaure, McKinley Ruffin and Lena Sawyer . It is dedicated to the memories of Vernon Boggs, Herbert Gentry and Paula Watson. M. A.
