On the narrow ground of their lives, slaves create a culture that is a nexus of kinship and family rich with religious, political, philosophical, and musical traditions. Slave religion combines traditional African religion with aspects of evangelical Christianity and its paradox of master/slave imagery. Undoubtedly the most crucial institution of black culture is the slave family. Despite the fact that slaves do not have rights to marry or have control over their children they begin to create family units, carving out small niches in which they can exercise some power over their own lives.
