Walker's impressive study is the first to link Harris's background
to the nature of his teachings and to discuss the dynamics of his
movement's development. Harris not only articulated the confusion
and desires of his followers but also created new aspirations by
helping them see what they could achieve in their own society and
in their relations with Europeans. Harris is the only evangelist in
the history of the African continent to bring such numbers to
Christianity.
Africans and their descendants constituted the majority of the population of the Americas for most of the first three hundred years. Yet their fundamental roles in the creation and definition of the new societies of the Onew world, O and their significance in the development of the Atlantic world, have not been acknowledged. This multidisciplinary volume highlights the African presence throughout the Americas, and African and African Diasporan contributions to the material and cultural life of all of the Americas, and of all Americans. It includes articles from leading scholars, and from cultural leaders from both well-known and little-known African Diasporan communities. Privileging African Diasporan voices, it offers new perspectives, data, and interpretations that challenge prevailing understandings of the Americas. Its fundamental premise is that the story of the Americas can only be accurately told by including the story of the foundational roles played by Africans and their descendants in the Americas
