Central Africa in the Caribbean: Transcending Space, Transforming Culture

"Central Africa in the Caribbean is the product of more than three decades of research. Maureen Warner-Lewis's pioneering study analyses some of the main lineaments of the Central African cultural legacy in the Caribbean, with fascinating transatlantic comparative data. She identifies Central African cultural forms in areas settled by the Koongo, Mbundu and Oviumbundu (the two present-day Congos and Angola) and illuminates Caribbean thought and customs through comparison with those cultures." This book is invaluable for scholars and general readers interested in African diaspora studies, African and Caribbean history, linguistics, music, religion, and cultural anthropology.
