Undercurrents of Power – Aquatic Culture in the African Diaspora de Kevin Dawson

Undercurrents of Power – Aquatic Culture in the African Diaspora: The Early Modern Americas

Autor Kevin Dawson
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 mai 2021
Kevin Dawson considers how enslaved Africans carried aquatic skills-swimming, diving, boat making, even surfing-to the Americas. Undercurrents of Power not only chronicles the experiences of enslaved maritime workers, but also traverses the waters of the Atlantic repeatedly to trace and untangle cultural and social traditions.
