(Second Edition)

Edited by Joseph E. Harris

This volume contains selected essays from the First and Second African Diaspora Institutes and other works. With broader geographical scope than the first edition, this revision places greater emphasis on historical and sociopolitical analysis. New essays that examine the African experience and slavery in the Mediterranean, the black experience in Brazil, African religious retentions in Latin American countries, and essays by women that focus on the experience and contributions of African women of the diaspora address significant areas omitted in the first volume.
