[lbo-talk] Afro-Americans

[Alan Rudy]

I've read a number of things - most clearly remembered in an article
on the demographics of Olympic sprinting twenty years or so ago  -
where a number of writers from Canada and beyond self-identified as
Afro-Caribbean.
Don't know if that meta-category was an element of the
self-identification of the Buena Vista Social Club's Afro-Cuban
All-Stars or if that name arose in the context of marketing to North
Americans.
