Su questo libro

Recensione:

'a rich, provocative, and in many ways seminal interpretation that may force a reconsideration of the neglected depths of African culture in America.' Library Journal

'a spirited nationalist interpretation of Afro-American cultural history. It is an interpretation of considerable originality.' The New Republic

'powerful new book...A book as rich and thoughtful as this inevitably sparks questions.' The Nation

'a valuable contribution to the debate on African survivals and transmutations in American culture ... There is so much in Slave Culture to fascinate the student of America and the African Diaspora that one wishes that it could have been twice its length. Many of its points deserve greater space than the author has been able to give them.' George Shepperson, University of Edinburgh, Slavery and Abolition

L'autore:
