Afro-European
Spanning two continents
Afro-European describes people of both African and European ancestry, or things relating to connections between Africa and Europe.
The term parallels Afro-American but sees less use, partly because Europe comprises many distinct nations rather than a single identity: Afro-European communities in France and Britain have different histories.
Also used for cultural or artistic fusion between African and European traditions.
