This book examines the academic study of the African and Native
American contact, African cultural change in Native America, as
well as the existence of African Americans with Native American
ancestry and Native Americans with African ancestry in the Western
Hemisphere. Drawing upon the fields of anthropology, history, and
sociology that initiated research into these areas, this book
attempts to provide understandings of how scholars have studied and
continue to understand the experiences of African-Native Americans
or individuals of blended − culturally and/or racially −
African and Native American ancestry in the North, Central, and
South America. It aims to illuminate problems, perspectives, and
prospects for interdisciplinary research. The first part is
structured to cover the problems – past and present −
encountered in investigating the scope of the topic and presents an
overview of the most important academic findings. The second part
provides both anthropological and interdisciplinary perspectives on
the lived experiences of African-Native Americans with both Native
Americans and non-Native Americans. And, finally, it sketches out
future directions in scholarship. This book will be of interest to
anthropologists, historians, sociologists, and Ethnic Studies and
Native American and Indigenous Studies scholars, from
undergraduates interested in the topic to graduate students and
researchers seeking to interrogate past research or fill
explanatory gaps in the literature with new research.
