Abstract

Afro-American ethnohistory is viewed as an essential aspect of New World ethnohistory. It is important for the understanding of other interacting societies, especially Native American populations in tropical and subtropical lowlands. And it is highly significant in its own right, both in relation to the persistence of people and traditions under great stress, and in regard to Maroon and other emergent societies. Even as much as in the study of Native Americans, Afro-American ethnohistory requires great depth, multinational perspectives, and multiple sources of information supported by sound ethnographic modeling. Good foundations for such work have been laid, and it is now timely to undertake the systemwide development of a challenging field of scholarship.
