Description:
This lavishly illustrated book brings together for one first time a significant body of imagery devoted to the traditional culture of the African-American slave. It includes over 250 paintings, engravings, and drawings which depict scenes of music, dance, religious practice, and storytelling. The authors have carefully selected illustrations that depict scenes of everyday life; show blacks in their own, private social world; and focus on the centrality of traditional music for the black community. This important work identifies, describes, and analyzes the cultural art forms and activities represented in the pictorial record that lie at the roots of African-American culture.
