From Library Journal:
This treasury offers "an extensive record of the oral traditions of blacks in the Caribbean and those portions of Latin America and the United States where African slaves were imported and eventually settled" (LJ 5/1/76). Courlander shows that despite the geographical and cultural diversity of the slaves, their ongoing traditions reveal a shared African inheritance that was transformed by their varied experiences in the New World.
