«Les Amériques noires» is Roger Bastide's essay on Afro-American cultures, published by L'Harmattan in paperback (249 pages, in French).
Roger Bastide studies the diversity and convergences of Afro-American cultures across the continent and the Caribbean. Slavery weakened ties with Africa but did not nullify the creativity of Afro-American peoples, who combined European, indigenous and their own influences into original syncretic systems. He examines whether their integration into Western society was possible or whether their customs and ways of thinking set them apart.
This work, reissued in 1996, comes from the 1973 Payot edition and includes a new introduction.
Reference work for readers interested in anthropology, sociology and the history of Afro-American cultures.
