Table of ContentsReviewsThis collection explores the influence of African bodies and elements on cultures of the Americas. The authors argue that the history of forced migration and enslavement of Africans is constitutive of the identities, stories, and cultural expressions of North, Central, and South America and the Caribbean. The 14 essays highlight the historical dispersal of African peoples (and their cultures) across the Americas, explore the presence and impact of the African diasporic experience in creative spheres such as music and fashion, and examine the study of the African Americas in the academy. The breadth of topics provides a rich exploration of the various ways that African cultures and the Middle Passage experience are infused in the lived realities and expressions of the Americas. The chapters are relatively short and written in very straightforward language, which makes the text accessible to readers outside academia...Summing Up: Recommended. Undergraduate collections.
