About the Book

This volume closely examines the movement to resettle black Americans in Africa, an effort led by the American Colonization Society during the nineteenth century and a heavily debated part of American history. Some believe it was inspired by antislavery principles, but others think it was a proslavery reaction against the presence of free blacks in society.Moving beyond this simplistic debate, contributors link the movement to other historical developments of the time, revealing a complex web of different schemes, ideologies, and activities behind the relocation of African Americans to Liberia. They explain what colonization, emigration, immigration, abolition, and emancipation meant within nuanced nineteenth-century contexts, looking through many lenses to more accurately reflect the past. Contributors: Eric Burin | Andrew Diemer | David F. Ericson | Bronwen Everill | Nicholas Guyatt | Debra Newman Ham | Matthew J. Hetrick | Gale Kenny | Phillip W. Magness | Brandon Mills | Robert Murray | Sebastian N. Page | Daniel Preston | Beverly Tomek | Andrew N. Wegmann | Ben Wright | Nicholas P. Wood

Review :
"The starting point for anyone trying to understand the current field of the study of African American recolonization."--Choice "Succeeds in demonstrating the importance of colonization to several aspects of early American history and pushing scholarly conversations in new and exciting directions."--Journal of the Early Republic "[A] well-curated collection."--Journal of American History "A set of remarkably concise and primary source-based analyses. . . . The volume stands out most for widening our understanding of the significance of colonization as a contemporary and current historiographical discourse."--Journal of Southern History "A thought-provoking set of essays that brim with insights. . . . A valuable launching pad for further studies investigating the broadscale significance of African colonization to the history of the nineteenth-century Atlantic world."--Journal of the Civil War Era "An excellent volume that challenges much of what scholars think they know about colonization. . . . Tomek and Hetrick offer a powerful reminder to take colonization seriously and illustrate how much more research needs to occur on this subject."--Alternate Routes: A Journal of Critical Social Research
