After reading excerpts of this book in a few anthologies and seeing it in the bibliographies of several books I liked, I decided to read the actual book. I understand the book's importance in it's field. It's a great read with a more expansive and nuanced discussion than just whether Christianity played a role in slaves docility or rebelliousness. A basic and interesting discussion on Africanisms in the Americas (Carribbean and South America vs. the US).
