Summary
"Alejandro de la Fuente and George Reid Andrews offer the first systematic, book-length survey of the humanities and social science scholarship on the exciting field of Afro-Latin American Studies. Organized by topic, these essays synthesize and present the current state of knowledge on a broad variety of topics, including Afro-Latin American music, religions, literature, art history, political thought, social movements, legal history, environmental history, and ideologies of racial inclusion. This volume connects the region's long history of slavery to the major political, social, cultural, and economic developments of the last two centuries. Written by leading scholars in each of those topics, the volume provides an introduction to the field of Afro-Latin American Studies that is not available from any other source and reflects the disciplinary and thematic richness of this emerging field"-- Provided by publisher.
