Africans in New Sweden:
The Untold Story

by Abdullah R. Muhammad

Historian Abdullah R. Muhammad examines a previously little-known and virtually untold aspect of Delaware’s history—the hidden role of Africans in the often brutal mercantile expansionism by European colonizers in the 17^thcentury. 

Mr. Muhammad reveals for the first time details of the genesis of America’s racism. Swedish and Finnish communities on the East Coast, called New Sweden, played a significant role in forming the foundation upon which Delaware was eventually built, but at what cost?



“Mr. Muhammad has shined a light on a dark part of our past.”

“…what sets Africans in New Sweden apart is the way this information is woven together to show a holistic view of the topic and its relationship to the development of our nation. I have added Africans in New Sweden: The Untold Story to my personal reference library and plan to share it with other educators and the general public.”
