The African slave trade brought African languages into contact with
Spanish and Portuguese beginning in the fifteenth century, and
resulted in the Africans' gradual acquisition of these languages.
John Lipski describes the major forms of Afro-Hispanic language
found in the Iberian Peninsula and Latin America over the last 500
years. Separating legitimate forms of Afro-Hispanic expression from
those that result from racist stereotyping, he shows how contact
with the African diaspora has had a permanent impact on Spanish
today.
