Africa and trans-Atlantic memories Book

While a very well-researched book about a topic that, in my opinion, has been significantly unexplored (ie "normal" race and sexuality and how the population was indoctrinated into these definitions of normalcy), the book seems overly repetitive and it seems as though there are much deeper stories to be told. If some of the repetitiveness was removed, these stories could have been told. A very good introduction for anyone new to racial or sexual history in the late 19th and early 20th century.
