Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

WE HAVE A CULTURE.We know the sound. We know the rhythm. We know the seasoning. We know the laughter, the language, the movement, and the feeling. Yet Black Americans are still sometimes told that we have no culture of our own.BORN OF THIS SOIL challenges that idea by looking at the culture that was created, transformed, shared, and passed from generation to generation right here in America.From soul food and Sunday dinners to gospel, blues, jazz, hip-hop, dance, fashion, language, church, family reunions, cookouts, barbershops, beauty shops, and the unwritten rules we somehow seem to know, A. M. Freeman explores the cultural fingerprint of a people whose creativity has profoundly shaped American life.This is not simply a search for where we came from. It is an exploration of what we became together. Because culture is more than ancestry. It is what people create, preserve, transform, and pass on.We were BORN OF THIS SOIL.And together, WE GAVE IT SOUL.
