    Notes:
    472 p, The chosen place is Bourneville, a remote, devastated part of a Caribbean island; the timeless people are its inhabitants, black, poor, inextricably linked to their past enslavement. The advance team for an ambitious American research project arrives, and the tense, ambivalent relationships that evolve dramatize the vicissitudes of power.

    Originally published: An anthropological approach to the Afro-American past. Philadelphia: Institute for the Study of Human Issues, ©1976. (ISHI occasional papers in social change; no. 2)., 121 p., Exploring the cultural ties between Africans and African Americans, the authors argue that there was no single culture that enslaved Africans transported intact to the Americas. They suggest rather that enslaved Africans from many societies began to forge out of common understandings and shared crises a new culture with distinct institutions, religious beliefs, and kinship roles even during the nightmare of the middle passage.
