Description: Afro-Atlantic Dialogues : Anthropology In The Diaspora, Paperback by Yelvington, Kevin A. (EDT), ISBN 1930618468, ISBN-13 9781930618466, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US The anthropological approaches to studying the African diaspora in the Atlantic world presented here are termed dialogic by editor Yelvington (anthropology, U. of South Florida) in that they "entail a critical concern with the historical fashioning of anthropology's categories simultaneous with an insistence on viewing processes of multiparty interaction in the creation and transformation through history of determined material social relationships and myriad symbolic media." The 12 contributions explore such topics as the aesthetic valuation of the art of the African diaspora, the politics of the African cultural retentions and survivals paradigm and its reception in anthropology, intra-diaspora movements and its effect on religious idioms, the role of public history and anthropology in telling the stories of blacks in colonial Manhattan, and the representation of blackness in Colombian music.
