Students read about the rise and fall of the first American rice industry; the Africanization of plantation food systems; African food history; and the relationship between African food and the crossing of the Atlantic. Chapter 3 explores the influence of African culture on American music. The articles focus on the formation of African American music in the United States; the African origins of banjo music; and musical performance in the African American West.
