The folk culture of the slaves in Jamaica / Edward Kamau Brathwaite.

"Folk culture of the slaves in Jamaica was written as part of a larger work: The Development of Creole Society in Jamaica 1770-1820. It was abstracted from this book and first published in 1970 as a separate pamphlet because of popular interest. The 'Folk culture' is a succinct historical analysiss of an alternative tradition in one area of Caribbean society. This new edition, a third reprinting, conforms more closely to the text of the chapter in The Development of Creole Society in Jamaica 1770-1820. It also contains some additional analysis and an improved bibliography."--Provided by the publisher.
