In this comprehensive study, Michael Gomez establishes tangible links between the African American community and its African origins and traces the process by which African populations exchanged their distinct ethnic identities for one defined primarily by the conception of race. He examines transformations in the politics, social structures, and religions of slave populations through 1830, by which time the contours of a new African American identity had begun to emerge. After discussing specific ethnic groups in Africa, Gomez follows their movement to North America, where they tended to be amassed in recognizable concentrations within individual colonies (and, later, states). For this reason, he argues, it is possible to identify particular ethnic cultural influences and ensuing social formations that heretofore have been considered unrecoverable. Using sources pertaining to the African continent as well as runaway slave advertisements, ex-slave narratives, and folklore, Gomez reveals concrete and specific links between particular African populations and their North American progeny, thereby shedding new light on subsequent African American social formation. 606 $aAfrican Americans$zSouthern States$xEthnic identity 606 $aAfrican Americans$xRace identity$zSouthern States 606 $aEnslaved persons$zSouthern States$xSocial life and customs 607 $aSouthern States$xHistory$yColonial period, ca. 1600-1775 607 $aSouthern States$xHistory$y1775-1865 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xEthnic identity. 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xRace identity 615 0$aEnslaved persons$xSocial life and customs. 676 $a305.896 700 $aGomez$b Michael A.$f1955-$01866800 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910966592003321 996 $aExchanging our country marks$94475093 997 $aUNINA
