Horror sequel directed by Tom Harper. 40 years after the events of
'The Woman in Black' (2011), a group of schoolchildren in London
are evacuated from the city during the blitz, accompanied by their
young teacher Eve Parkins (Phoebe Fox). When the group arrives in
the idyllic English countryside, little do they know that a dark
spirit that has long lain dormant in the Eel Marsh House awaits.
One by one the children begin to demonstrate strange behaviour and
unexplainable happenings occur in their isolated home. Will Eve,
with the help of the military, be strong enough to repel the
ghostly woman bent on destruction and revenge for the loss of her
son?

An important work in the field of diaspora studies for the past
decade, this collection has inspired scholars and others to explore
a trail blazed originally by Melville J. Herskovits, the father of
New World African studies. Since its original publication, the
field has changed considerably. Africanism has been explored in its
broader dimensions, particularly in the area of white Africanisms.
Thus, the new edition has been revised and expanded. Joseph E.
Holloway has written three essays for the new volume. The first
uses a transnational framework to examine how African cultural
survivals have changed over time and readapted to diasporic
conditions while experiencing slavery, forced labor, and racial
discrimination. The second essay is "Africanisms in African
American Names in the United States." The third reconstructs Gullah
history, citing numerous Africanisms not previously identified by
others. In addition, "The African Heritage of White America" by
John Phillips has been revised to take note of many more instances
of African cultural survivals in white America and to present a new
synthesis of approaches.
