The thesis of Samuel Daffner, found on his Afro Cuban Homepage:
"The thesis analyzes survivals and syncretism's in Afro- Cuban culture. A theoretical framework is established by examining political, ecological, and religious factors of the Cuban colonial experience. Then the framework is applied to analyze rumba, an Afro-Cuban music form. The goal is twofold: to provide an historical view of cultural components surrounding and embodied in rumba, and to establish a working knowledge of the origins and forms of rumba music."
