Reviews

In this book, Vernon `Leao Preto' Lindsay asks the Capoeira community to expand the roda to influence social justice movements. This is a must-read for Capoeiristas doing work in schools. -Mestre Acordeon, United Capoeira Association Once again, Vernon C. Lindsay has taken bold steps to articulate the physical, mental, and spiritual stamina needed to survive and thrive in uncertain times. His ability to reframe the concept of traditional K-12 physical education for Black youth is noteworthy in a time when physical education is slowly being removed from school curriculum. Such a claim to the necessity of physical education should be considered part and parcel of the process to affirm the humanity of Black youth. -David Stovall, Professor of Educational Policy Studies and African American Studies, University of Illinois at Chicago This book, like the author, is innovative. Vernon C. Lindsay offers Ginga as a creative approach for academicians and practitioners to use in their work with Black males. -Tony Laing, Director of Men of Color Initiative, University of Wisconsin Oshkosh
