Undercurrents of Power: Aquatic Culture in the African Diaspora

Kevin Dawson uses Undercurrents of Power to investigate aquatic Culture in the African Diaspora through a carefully framed biographical portrait. Moving between close detail and context, the book explains the forces surrounding its subject and connects them to the connected fields of biography & autobiography and history. Rather than isolating its subject, the book shows how private experience and public systems continually influenced one another. Together, these elements make Undercurrents of Power an accessible guide to the subject and the questions it continues to raise.
