The African Experience in Spanish America

"A masterly survey-vigorous in its views, rigorous in its scholarship. . . a classic . . . . This is decidedly a book with a message, but it is also an excellent book, and one that has been long needed." -Times Literary Supplement "The most complete and satisfying account of Spanish American black history available . . . . Those of us teaching black history must thank Rout for a most valuable classroom text, and those of us working on the history of blacks in America will welcome an account that illustrates so neatly what what we know and what we do not." -American Historical Review
