Going Home: Community Fieldwork in Africa
The author traveled with forty other African-Americans, the majority of whom were visiting the African site, Ghana, for the first time. The tour of this West African country was designed by psychologists Akbar and Nobles to heighten African-Americans’ awareness of their heritage, roots, ancestry. Documentary footage was taken, notably of the quarters Africans were imprisoned in before they were taken to the "New World" as slaves.
