Chapel Hill 2016 Approved by: Inger S. B. Brodey Todd Ramón Ochoa Marsha S. Collins Tanya L. Shields Madeline G. Levine © 2016 Donato Fhunsu ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Donato Fhunsu: The Kongo Rule: The Palo Monte Mayombe Wisdom Society (Reglas de Congo: Palo Monte Mayombe) A Book by Lydia Cabrera An English Translation from the Spanish (Under the direction of Inger S. B. Brodey and Todd Ramón Ochoa) This dissertation is a critical analysis and annotated translation, from Spanish into English, of the book Reglas de Congo: Palo Monte Mayombe, by the Cuban anthropologist, artist, and writer Lydia Cabrera (1899-1991). Cabrera’s text is a hybrid ethnographic book of religion, slave narratives (oral history), and folklore (songs, poetry) that she devoted to a group of Afro-Cubans known as “los Congos de Cuba,” descendants of the Africans who were brought to the Caribbean island of Cuba during the trans-Atlantic Ocean African slave trade from the former Kongo Kingdom, which occupied the present-day southwestern part of Congo-Kinshasa, Congo-Brazzaville, Cabinda, and northern Angola. The Kongo Kingdom had formal contact with Christianity through the Kingdom of Portugal as early as the 1490s.

Excellence in Teaching Award Congratulations to Dr. Satchi This is the very first newsletter the Department of Aerospace Engineering has ever published. In its Venkataraman on earning the own right, this inaugural issue is a historical milestone. The Aerospace Engineering program at San “Excellence in Teaching Award” from Diego State started in 1968. Over the half century, many students received a solid education and went Northup Grumman for 2018-19. Pictured on to have productive and fulfilling professional careers. Together with the College of Engineering, here with Dean Eugene Olevsky. the Department has been going through major changes in the last several years. Half the faculty in the Department, myself included, were hired within the last 5 years. Today the Aerospace Engineering program is the 3rd largest degree program in the College of Engineering at SDSU. We are in the midst of a significant curriculum renovation. The faculty and students in the Department are conducting cutting-edge research funded by NASA, DoD, NSF, and the industry. With this newsletter and future issues, we hope to establish a regular channel to engage you, our alumni and supporters, in this on- going transformation of the Department. We invite you to visit the Department and the campus when an opportunity arises. As always, your loyalty and support to the Department are greatly cherished. –Dr. Ping Lu President de la Torre visited the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, CA with Dr. Gustaaf Jacobs was the recipient of the 2019 our Department Chair Dr.

  • Cold War Scrapbook Compiled by Frances Mckenney, Assistant Managing Editor
    Cold War Scrapbook Compiled by Frances McKenney, Assistant Managing Editor The peace following World War II was short- lived. Soviet forces never went home, kept occupied areas under domination, and threatened free nations worldwide. By 1946, Winston Churchill had declared, “An iron curtain has descended across the conti- nent.” Thus began a 45-year struggle between the diametrically opposed worldviews of the US and the Soviet Union. In 1948, the USSR cut off land access to free West Berlin, launch- ing the first major “battle” of the Cold War: the Berlin Airlift. Through decades of changes in strategy, tactics, locations, and technology, the Air Force was at the forefront. The Soviet Union was contained, and eventually, freedom won out. Bentwaters. Bitburg. Clark. Loring. Soes- terberg. Suwon. Wurtsmith—That so many Cold War bases are no longer USAF instal- lations is a tribute to how the airmen there did their jobs. While with the 333rd Tactical Fighter Training Squadron at Davis-Monthan AFB, Ariz., in 1975, Capt. Thomas McKee asked a friend to take this “hero shot” of him with an A-7. McKee flew the Corsair II as part of Tactical Air Command, at Myrtle Beach AFB, S.C. He was AFA National President and Chairman of the Board (1998-2002). Assigned to the 1st Strategic Reconnaissance Squadron, Beale AFB, Calif., RSO Maj. Thomas Veltri (right) and Maj. Duane Noll prepare for an SR-71 mission from RAF Mildenhall, UK, in the mid- 1980s.
