Description: In this pamphlet anthropological iconoclasts Richard and Sally Price crack the yellowing diaries of Melville and Frances Herskovits on their famous 1920s expedition deep into the South American jungle, exposing-with their trademark combination of deadpan wit and theoretical rigor-the origins of the field that has come to be known as African diaspora studies.
