Description

Explore the complex relationship between globalization and the longing for ancestral homelands in this scholarly work from the Routledge Studies on African and Black Diaspora series. This book examines the journeys of descendants from African ancestors displaced by the trans-Atlantic slave trade. For many, traveling to Ghana involves visiting specific heritage sites associated with the slave trade, creating journeys filled with deep expectations. Through over two years of ethnographic field research, the text examines how these pilgrimages function as processes of remembrance. The study compares these travels to other diasporic movements that focus on themes of trauma, identification, and redemption. It provides a detailed look at how individuals navigate their uncertain family origins through physical travel and historical connection. This volume is an essential resource for those studying the social and anthropological aspects of the African diaspora and the impact of historical displacement on modern identity.
