What can I say that has not already been said about Robert F, Thompsons Flash of the Spirit He does an excellent job reporting on the African retentions that exist in the Americas, I really enjoyed this book for several reasons, but the main reason we I continued to use this book as reference point is

because it has done what none other book has done, which is investigate the African retentions that exist in North America.
This was important to me because I had heard growing up that African Americans being the farthest from Africa practically lost all of their cultural ties to Africa.
Thompson reveals that this is not the case at all and provides numerous examples indicating that the one of the strongest cultural influences that contributed to African American culture are the people from the Kongo Angolan region.
This put a new twists on things, but made me look at life from a different perspective, as the author discuss the origin of the term funky and jazz.
As well as elaborate on various African American cultural expressions like the ones demonstrated in the Supremes movements Stop and Talk to the hand that all seem to come from this region.
This book was a real treat and a true classic, that you will enjoy for years to come, Splendid overview of African influence in popular art and culture in the Americas, Not only music, but crafts, graphic arts, dance, Really an excellent introduction. var hmenu document. getElementById"nav hamburger menu" hmenu, setAttribute"href", "javascript: void" window, navHamburgerMetricLogger function if window. ue window. ue. count var metricName "Navm:Hmenu:IconClickActionPending" window, ue. countmetricName, ue. countmetricNamewindow.
