   Abstract:
   For centuries, lifeways and political identities in Africa and in many parts of its American diaspora have been re-shaped by the back-and-forth exchange of people,books, musical recordings,and merchandise between Africa and the Americas, recommending that we re-think the analytic metaphors in terms of which the relationship between African and African-American cultures is conventionally described.
