Description
In this pioneering work, Dr. Pasteur and Dr. Toldson introduce an original theory of black expressiveness that reveals and analyzes the artistic and creative experiences of black life.
By examining emotionalism, spontaneity, and rhythm, the threads that run through the fabric of black culture, 'The Roots of Soul' presents a holistic overview of what black expressiveness is and where it comes from. these invisible threads linking music, dance, poetry, drama, oratory, folklore, sculpture, and other forms of the black community are the key to understanding how the culture developed and, in turn, influenced world culture as whole. As a result, the authors, both psychologists, expand their theory to include practical applications for the reader.
