Guinean Americans
Guinean Americans are Americans of Guinean descent. According to estimates by 2000 US Census, there were 3,016 people who identified Guinean as one of their two top ancestry identities. However, in November 2010 the ''New York Times'' estimated that as many 10,000 Guineans and Guinean Americans reside in New York City alone.
== History ==
The first Guineans who emigrated to United States were bought as slaves in colonial times. Many of them came from peoples such as the Fulbe,〔(Prince Among Slaves )〕 Baga and the Susu〔(The Gullah: Rice, Slavery and the Sierra Leone-American Connection ). Posted by Joseph A. Opala, 1987.Retrieved September 10, 2012, to 12:30pm.〕 and hailed from of places such as Fouta Djallon.〔 So, many slaves of day-present Guinea were Muslims (case of the Fulbes and the Susu people). Many Guineans were bought in places as the Boké village and the Pongo River, since where were exported to places such as New York, The Carolinas or Louisiana. So, since Boké were sent many slaves to the plantations of The Carolinas to work in the rice fields of this territory.〔(Guinea's Atlantic Coast and the Slave Route ). Posted by Muguette Goufrani.

In addition, since 1712, arrived a boat with slaves from the Guinean Coast to French Louisiana every year, when the Frenchman Antoine Crozat, who was the first owner of the private property of French Louisiana, obtained the monopoly of trade in Louisiana by the French government and was allowed him to use slave labor with the permission of the Company of Guinea.〔(LEGENDS OF KANSAS. History, Tales, and Destinations in the Land of Ahs ).

After of slavery abolition (1865) and until 1990, few Guineans emigrated to the United States and these were, basically, scholars and professionals. Only from the late 1980s to Guineans them began to attract U.S. as a way to escape poverty and the harsh military regime in their country. So, they settled initially in New York, Boston and Atlanta, forming important communities. Over time, Guineans were migrating to other parts of the U.S., such as Chicago (whose Guineans came also from New York). Because sometimes come to Guinea news to the family and friends of Guineans living in the United States, these too have been migrating to this country. Guineans have gotten different jobs mostly, like other African groups, in the work of taxi driving and hairbraiding.〔(Encyclopedia ofChicago: Guineans in Chicago ). Posted by Tracy Steffes.
