N1  - Includes bibliographical references and index; "What is Africa to me?" -- "I tried to keep their voices in my head" -- "We, the African Members, form ourselves into a Society" -- "It is the will of GOD for you to come into the possessions of your ancestors" -- "Africa is their country. They should claim it" -- "My Africa, Motherland of the Negro peoples!" -- I wanted to see this Africa."
N2  - What is an "African American" and how does this identity relate to the African continent? Rising immigration levels, globalization, and the United States' first African American president have all sparked new dialogue around the question. This work provides an introduction to the relationship between African Americans and Africa from the era of slavery to the present, mapping several overlapping diasporas. It examines the diversity of African American identities through relationships with region, ethnicity, slavery, and immigration to investigate questions fundamental to the study of African American history and culture but often overlooked
