Books by Sheila S. Walker

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.

This volume highlights the significance of the African presence in the development of the Americas. It offers perspectives, data and interpretations that challenge prevailing understandings of the Americas, and articles from scholars and cultural leaders from African diaspora communities.
