The author came to perceive the Afroamerican field as a laboratory in which hypotheses of the widest scope in the study of acculturation could be tested, with ethnohistory as the control factor. Moreover, he regarded acculturation as a process of mutual exchange rather than a matter of members of minority groups taking over the cultural elements of a dominant majority. Herskovits also insisted that the study of culture be holisitc, and that the arts and values of a people be given full weight.The volume is divided into eight major sections entitled The Afroamerican Field-A Laboratory for the Study of Man; Theory and Method; Ethnohistory-The Laboratory Control in Studies of Acculturation; Ethno-psychology; The Arts; Cult Life in Brazil; The World View of an Urban Community-Paramaribo, Dutch Guiana; and Reinterpretations.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68021367931168,"sku":"USED0253340403","price":135.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/51YmHqkO3XL_4b33a41d-912f-4778-9753-741296420636.jpg?v=1793134743","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/en-ca\/products\/the-new-world-negro-0253340403-used","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
