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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 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\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 396\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 10, 2004\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47450471104761,"sku":"9780253340405","price":71.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/EqY61T_2Te9780253340405_1922b862-7834-442b-83e0-1c1686f7ae64.webp?v=1772049977","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/the-new-world-negro-hardcover-1","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
