Michael L. Conniff teaches history at Auburn University, where he also directs the Institute for Latin American Studies.
From Library Journal
Latin American historian Conniff ( Black Labor on a White Canal , LJ 7/85) and African American historian and LJ reviewer Davis ( Rumor of Revolt , LJ 6/15/85) endeavor to chronicle the divergent histories of African slaves and their descendants in the United States, the Caribbean, Brazil, and Spanish America. Today, the African diaspora is mired in poverty, wields little political power, and still reflects the impact of European cultural hegemony. This introductory historiography shows how the racism inherent in European colonialism created this situation. Overall, the text outlines the dominion of state and European society over the African populations, with several chapters centering on the histories of the internal communities of African descent in the Americas. The bibliographic essay is useful, but scholars would want references. Recommended for all relevant collections.
