Africanisms in American Culture

Africanisms in American Culture, edited by Joseph E. Holloway, explores the lasting impact of African cultural traditions on American society, particularly within African American communities. Through essays from leading scholars, the book examines how African languages, religious practices, music, cuisine, and social structures have shaped American culture. The revised edition expands on topics such as Gullah culture, African influences in contemporary Black identity, and the historical continuity of African traditions in the Americas. This volume is a key resource for understanding the deep and enduring connections between Africa and the African diaspora in the United States.
