Summary
An ethno-historical anthropology of the African heritage of the American Negroes, invalidating the hypothesis that the Negro lived in a cultural vacuum. Bibliogs

Originally published in 1941, his unprecedented study of black history and culture recovered a rich African heritage in religious and secular life, the language and arts of the Americas.
