Description
The first comprehensive analysis of African repatriation movements in the 19th century. Beginning with Paul Cuffe's journey to Sierra Leone in 1815 and ending with Bishop Henry McNeal Turner's efforts to promote repatriation as reparation for slavery, Returning Home chronicles the lives of nationalist thinkers and activists such as John Brown Russwum and Edward Wilmot Blyden. Surveying all the major movements and personalities during the repatriation thrust of the 19th century, it forms a clear overview of the period.
