reviewed Fighting for Honor: The History of African Martial Arts in the Atlantic World on March 10, 2009
Fighting for Honor
Excellent emphasis on the African background of Brazilian Capoeira. Also Uses the Diasporic approach to culture in tracing Martial Arts in the New World to their counterparts in Atlantic Africa and how enslaved people employed them to restore their honor.
