ebooks Tending the Wild: Native American Knowledge and the Management of California's Natural Resources by M. Kat Anderson in History

Description

This volume sets out a new paradigm that increases our understanding of African culture and the forces that led to its transformation during the period of the Atlantic slave trade and beyond; putting long due emphasis on the importance of Central African culture to the cultures of the United States; Brazil; and the Caribbean. Focusing on the Kongo/Angola culture zone; the book illustrates how African peoples re-shaped their cultural institutions as they interacted with Portuguese slave traders up to 1800; then follows Central Africans through all the regions where they were taken as slaves and captives.
