Description
An anthology of personal accounts of inter-continental journeys by Africans and people of African descent, this selection ranges from early slave narratives to jet-age tourism, and covers a variety of voices and experiences: missionaries; social explorers; abolitionists; migrants; political leaders in exile; touring musicians; students; campaigners; and conference delegates. Its sources include letters, speeches, memoirs, autobiographies, travel books, anthropology and relevant poetry and fiction. The book's focus is on the experience of travel, migration and exile, which makes the African diaspora what it is.
