Afro-American Culture - Afro-American Culture

Japanese: アフロ・アメリカ文化 - アフロアメリカぶんか
Afro-American Culture - Afro-American Culture
Afro-American culture is mainly carried by people of black descent from Latin America and is often said to be a "mixed culture." This reflects the fact that Afro-American society, found mainly in northeastern Brazil, the Guianas, and the Caribbean, is a "mixed society." In other words, unlike in North America, interracial mixing is commonplace here, and for example, intermarriage between whites and blacks has given rise to mixed races such as mulattoes and mamerucos, and intermarriage between Indians and blacks has given rise to mixed races such as sambos and maroons.

Japanese:
アフロ・アメリカ文化はラテン・アメリカの黒人系の人びとをおもな担い手とし,しばしば〈混合文化〉であるといわれる。それは,主として北東ブラジル,ギアナ地域,カリブ海地域にみられるアフロ・アメリカ社会が〈混血社会〉であることの反映である。つまりここでは人種間の混血現象が北アメリカと異なって日常茶飯事であり,たとえば白人と黒人との混血によってムラート,マメルコ,またインディオと黒人との混血によってサンボ,マルーンなどの混血人種が生まれている。
