Review
This beautifully written book provides a deeply textured narrative of the relationship between African Americans and Africa. (Mary L. Dudziak, University of Southern California Law School)
Brilliantly explores the complex relationship between African Americans and Africa, how their ideas about Africa changed from redemption to the influence of Africa on their own consciousness and liberation, indeed on their very identity as African Americans. (Robert L. Harris Jr., Cornell University)
The first comprehensive study of the diverse ways in which African Americans responded to the winning of African independence. Deeply researched and finely written. (Thomas Borstelmann, author of The Cold War and the Color Line: American Race Relations in the Global Arena)
