Creolization in the Americas

Creolization, the process of cultural interchange -- in this case, between peoples of the continents bordering the Atlantic Ocean -- is an important aspect of the American experience. Language, literature, food, dress, and social relations are all affected by the interplay of cultures. Only recently, though, have scholars fully begun to understand creolization as a mutual exchange rather than the acculturation of colonized peoples to a dominant culture.Buisseret, David is the author of 'Creolization in the Americas' with ISBN 9780890969496 and ISBN 0890969493.
