Herskovits intended to debunk the myth that African Americans lost their African culture due to their experience of slavery.[1] The book was the first publication of the Carnegie Corporation's Study of the American Negro and took 15 years to research.[2] Herskovits argued that African Americans had retained their heritage from Africa in music, art, social structure, family life, religion, and speech patterns.[3] The book became controversial because it was feared its arguments could be used by proponents of segregation to prove that African Americans could not be assimilated into mainstream American society.[4] References1. ^Jackson, p. 97 2. ^Gershenhorn, p. 93 3. ^Jackson, p. 97 4. ^Gershenhorn, p. 93-94 Bibliography
