“Blyden has produced a fascinating book on the relationship between African Americans and the African continent from the era of slavery, to the late-nineteenth-century movements to return African Americans to West Africa, to the twentieth-century civil rights movement, to the eventual presidency of Barack Obama in the twenty-first century." Nicolas van de Walle, Foreign Affairs

“Blyden has filled a gap in the scholarship on the relationship between African Americans and Africa by offering a synthetic narrative that contextualizes African American history firmly within the history of the African Diaspora.” Jeannette Eileen Jones, University of Nebraska–Lincoln

Nemata Amelia Ibitayo Blyden is Associate Professor of History and International Affairs at George Washington University.
