The Africans brought with them linguistic skills, novel techniques of animal husbandry and farming, and generations-old ethical principles, among other attributes. This startling history reveals how much our country was shaped by these African influences in its early years, producing a new, distinctly American culture."-- Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii State Library Adult New Books 973.0496 Fo Checked out 05/11/2024 Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 973.0496 Fischer Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library Adult Nonfiction 973.0496 Fi Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 973.0496 Fi Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kealakekua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 973.0496 Fi Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Nonfiction 973.0496 Fi Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Liliha Public Library Adult Nonfiction 973.0496 Fi Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 973.0496 Fi Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library Adult Nonfiction 973.0496 Fi Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Thelma Parker Memorial P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 973.0496 Fi Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
