Mangrove rice farming on West Africa's Rice Coast was the mirror
image of tidewater rice plantations worked by enslaved Africans in
18th-century South Carolina and Georgia. This book reconstructs the
development of rice-growing technology among the Baga and Nalu of
coastal Guinea, beginning more than a millennium before the
transatlantic slave trade. It reveals a picture of dynamic
pre-colonial coastal societies, quite unlike the static, homogenous
pre-modern Africa of previous scholarship. From its examination of
inheritance, innovation, and borrowing, Deep Roots fashions a
theory of cultural change that encompasses the diversity of
communities, cultures, and forms of expression in Africa and the
African diaspora.
