Roots of Soul: The Psychology of Black Expressiveness- An Unprecedented and Intensive Examination of Black Folk Expressions in the Enrichment of Life by Toldson, Ivory L.. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780385158800.

In this pioneering work, Dr. Pasteur and Dr. Toldson introduce an original theory of black expressiveness that reveals and analyzes the artistic and creative experiences of black life. By examining emotionalism, spontaneity, and rhythm, the threads that run through the fabric of black culture, The Roots of Soul presents a holistic overview of what black expressiveness is and where it comes from. these invisible threads linking music, dance, poetry, drama, oratory, folklore, sculpture, and other forms of the black community are the key to understanding how the culture developed and, in turn, influenced world culture as whole. As a result, the authors, both psychologists, expand their theory to include practical applications for the reader.
