As a result of new research; we can now paint a more complex picture of peoples and cultures in the south Atlantic; from the earliest period of the slave trade up to the present. The nine papers in this volume indicate that a dynamic and continuous movement of peoples east as well as west across the Atlantic forged diverse and vibrant re-inventions and re-interpretations of the rich mix of cultures represented by Africans and peoples of African descent on both continents.

It explains for the enthusiast many aspects of the development and operational uses of the B-47. This airplane was the United States' nuclear deterrent throughout the 1950s and early '60s. The B-47 also served as a sophisticated probe of the Soviets' air defenses. The bomber; recon; and other variants are all here; along with abundant historical photos and diagrams.The Kindle edition that I read on the Kindle Fire HD) was a little quirky. The text looked like it was a scanned image; especially the bold; extended quotations. However; the text behaved just like any other Kindle text. This was a little odd; but did not really detract from my enjoyment of the book. Also; some of the pictures and text seemed to be out of order; but this may be a problem with the original book; and not a Kindle formatting problem.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Another Walter Boyne SuccessBy James KaadIf you have any real interest in the Strategic Air Command this is the aircraft that you really need to be up on. This was the work horse of S.A.C. before the B-52 and during those formattive years of the Cold War. More dependable than ICBM's and a main stay of General Lemays MADD projects; this aircraft was an often an overlooked jewel in Boeing Aircrafts history of ground breaking designs. Used for everything from Recon work to penetration bombing this aircraft developed the tactics that the B-52 was later to take credit for. The Stratojet is a difficult aircraft to find information on and this book is a historians dream.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
