The ancestors of people of African descent in the Guianas today were primarily enslaved Africans brought to the region during the transatlantic slave trade. These individuals were forcibly brought to the Guianas by European colonizers to work on sugar plantations and other industries. Over time, their descendants have formed the diverse Afro-Guyanese, Afro-Surinamese, and Afro-French Guianese communities found in the region today.
