Cet ouvrage propose une réflexion sur la transmission culturelle et ses mécanismes en Afrique. Jadis, les Baga de Guinée-Conakry ont été de talentueux sculpteurs de masques et de puissants ritualistes connus pour leurs sociétés d'initiation masculines. Dimba, un buste féminin colossal en bois, et le masque serpentiforme Bansonyi témoignent, entre autres, de leur histoire religieuse et font aujourd'hui partie des chefs-d'œuvre de l'art africain. Avec la venue de l'islam et du catholicisme, ces sociétés de Guinée maritime ont été transformées en profondeur, mais elles restent aussi héritières de leur passé. En l'absence d'initiations et de forêts sacrées, de nombreux éléments de l'édifice rituel d'antan ont persisté jusqu'à ce jour. Au fil des pages de cet ouvrage, le lecteur est amené à explorer les usages passés des objets baga, mais aussi ce qui reste aujourd'hui de l'héritage de ces populations littorales.

Mangrove rice farming on West Africa's Rice Coast was the mirror image of tidewater rice plantations worked by enslaved Africans in 18th-century South Carolina and Georgia. This book reconstructs the development of rice-growing technology among the Baga and Nalu of coastal Guinea, beginning more than a millennium before the transatlantic slave trade. It reveals a picture of dynamic pre-colonial coastal societies, quite unlike the static, homogenous pre-modern Africa of previous scholarship. From its examination of inheritance, innovation, and borrowing, Deep Roots fashions a theory of cultural change that encompasses the diversity of communities, cultures, and forms of expression in Africa and the African diaspora.
