Only four pages contain any actual information on the history of Africans in America. Blount uses the absence of information to make readers reflect on what is not said about African-American history.https://scholarship.rollins.edu/book_arts/1011/thumbnail.jp

Among those was research carried out in 1997-1998 in Glynn and McIntosh counties on public perception and knowledge about current water issues. The research consisted of intensive interviews with selected individuals and a mail questionnaire to randomly selected coastal residents. The results of the research, originally reported solely in terms of raw scores and percentages, are re-presented here as information to construct cultural models, which allow for differentiation of survey results in relation to socioeconomic categories. Communities that are the least developed economically are more concerned about development than water conservation. The reverse is also the case.
