T. J. Desch-Obi
"In Fighting for Honor, T. J. Desch Obi has skillfully crafted the first survey of African American fighting styles that is both extensive in its discussion of the origins of African combat techniques and comprehensive in its study of how these techniques manifested in the Americas. This straightforward and engaging work reflects great depth of research in published and unpublished sources as well as interviews in the field. The result is an important contribution to African American history and a new step in the study of the transmission of African culture to the New World."—John K. Thornton, professor of African American Studies, Boston University, and author of Warfare in Atlantic Africa, 1500–1800
