Afro-Barbadians, or African Barbadians, are Barbadian people of entirely or predominantly African descent. According to the 2012 Census, 80% of Barbados' population is Black and 16% is Mulatto. == Origins == Most of the enslaved Africans brought to Barbados were from the Bight of Biafra (62,000 Africans), the Gold Coast (59,000 Africans), and the Bight of Benin (45,000 Africans).〔(African origins of the slaves from British and former British Antilles )〕 Other African slaves came from Senegambia (14,000 Africans), the Windward Coast (13,000 slaves), Sierra Leone (9,000 slaves), and from Central Africa (29,000 slaves).〔 Africans from the Bight of Biafra were primarily Igbo, Ibibio, and Efik; Africans from the Gold Coast were primarily Akan; Africans from the Bight of Benin were primarily Ewe and Fon; and Africans from Central Africa were primarily Kongo.〔(Slavery and Economy in Barbados ). Posted by Dr Karl Watson.〕 The Royal African Company in Barbados had its own preference on the origins of the slaves for work. Thus, the company considered, as reported once, that certain slaves were worth more than other slaves from a specific region.〔(Barbados Article: Slavery 18th Century )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Afro-Barbadian」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
