A collection of travel writing by African-Americans that is international in scope and which includes writings from the late eighteenth century to the 1990s. The narratives include the 'middle passage,' the testimony of slaves, economic migrants, political activists, musicians, sailors, missionaries, students, foreign correspondents, and wartime personnel. They are drawn from autobiographies, diaries, letters, newspaper reports, fiction, essays, drama and poetry, and travel literature. All of them are chosen to illustrate the breadth of journey types that have taken place between Africa, Europe, and the Americas in all directions and a snapshot of how this has created the African diaspora.
