Middle Passages
African American Journeys to Africa, 1787 - 2005
by James T. Campbell

Description:

Many works of history deal with the journeys of blacks in bondage from Africa to the United States along the “middle passage,” but there is also a rich and little examined history of African Americans traveling in the opposite direction. In Middle Passages, award-winning historian James T. Campbell vividly recounts more than two centuries of African American journeys to Africa, including the experiences of such extraordinary figures as Langston Hughes, W.E.B. DuBois, Richard Wright, Malcolm X, and Maya Angelou. A truly groundbreaking work, Middle Passages offers a unique perspective on African Americans’ ever-evolving relationship with their ancestral homeland, as well as their complex, often painful relationship with the United States.
