Alway Elsewhere – Travels of the Black Atlantic –

“… is the first-ever collection of travel writing by black author which is truly international in scope and which includes material from the late eighteenth century to the present day. …

Some fifty extracts – drawn from autobiographies, diaries, letters, newspaper reports, fiction, essays, drama and poetry, as well as travel literature more conventionally defined – indicate the bewildering variety of journeys which have taken place between Africa, Europe and the Americas in all directions and which have made the African diaspora what it is today.”
